I have entered the code in for the php but it as all showing up in orange rather than changing color. When i load the web page it just shows blank areas where my name should be. I don't know what i am doing wrong?

7,754 PointsI seem to have sorted it. The file extension was .html rather than .php. Thanks though

9,260 PointsHi Daniel, can you share your code with me ?
if there is orange parts, then you have forgotten to close a statement off with a semi colon.
