Hi Folks,
This is frying my brain.
<?php $Message="This is the message I hope will appear when I hover"; ?>hover me
The above two lines of code doesn’t not give me the text I want when I hover over the ‘hover me’ text.
It gives me: <?php echo $Message; ?> instead.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance 
Is the file a .php extension?
Are you running this out of a web server (either Apache or IIS)?
Yes the file has a .php extension and I am using Apache Server.
And you are running it from the htdocs directory? The only way I can replicate what you are saying is to run it as an html page.
[php]<?php $message = 'test string of the string of the test of the string.'; ?>
Hover [/php]Oops!!! It has been a while since I felt like quite such an idiot - I thought the file extension was using was a .php but it was (of course) a .html. Well spotted and many thanks.
