Problem with running Today.php

PHP
,
1

I’ve just started Kevin Yank’s book PHP & MySQL 5th edition. I’ve installed MAMP correctly on a Mac. I wrote the script today.php as in the book, saved it to htdocs, called it up at localhost on a browser and got the following error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘jS’ (T_STRING) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/today.php on line 11

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Here’s the complete script:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang=“en”>

  <head>

    <meta charset=“utf-8”>

   
<title>Today&rsquo;s Date</title>

  <head>

  <body>

   
<p>Today&rsquo;s date (according to this web server) is

      <?php
2

There is some code missing.

@sjg: You can only paste the php code - you don’t have to include the CSS. At the moment your php script is missing. If you are having issues, you can paste your script here: http://pastebin.com/ and share the link with us here on Sitepoint Forums.
