Help trying to display a PHP variable within HTML tags connection is not made

Thanks Jon. I have bookmarked your PHP articles and looked through them

like myself who are trying to learn PHP by themselves. And thanks to
everyone else out there who have contributed to help us RPG grizzly bears

I need to remember how at my first RPG programming job they did not use
detail output for screens as I learned in school but used EXCEPT (RPGII). I
thought I had entered into the twilight zone. On top of that, there was no
internet, just IBM manuals, and we were all had to do 40 hours a week
billable. I asked questions at lunchtime. Sometimes now I feel like I am in
the twilight zone PHP, but it is penetrating the concrete, slowly...
