Hi.

I’m a newbie in every sense of the word regarding php.  
I’m following tutorials in a book and have encountered an early problem.

In a “test” script, I opened this in my browser:

\<html\>  
\<head\>  
\<title\>First PHP Code\</title\>  
\</head\>  
\<body\>  
\<?php  
echo “I am a lumberjack.”;  
?\>  
\</body\>  
\</html\>

The problem is I can’t see the statement “I am a lumberjack”  
What’s wrong here???
