[RESOLVED] DUN understand these CODES!!!URGENT HELP!

[twinkie]

I was wondering why doesnt the codes <?php echo 'my name is lyna-licious!!!'; ?> does not appear in the browser.

what does this code: <?php echo 'my name is lyna-licious!!!'; ?> actually means????

These are the overall codes.
<p>This is going to be ignored.</p>
<?php echo 'my name is lyna-licious!!!'; ?>
<p>This will also be ignored.</p>

well... the <?php tells the server that what follows is PHP code....
Echo is a PHP command to send output to the client browser....
and ?> tells the server it's the end of the PHP code....

Why doesn't it show? Beats me... depends on what's around it... is the html commented out? is it in the headers? Try View Source and see if it's in there somewhere.

If i understand you correctly <?php echo __ ?> wont appear in the browser because that is the instruction to the server, therefore the end user would not need to see it. However the string being echoed, 'my name is lyna-licious!!!' would no doubt appear in your browser.
