Hello, Simar ! The "for" loop starts the php script 6 times. <?php $name = "<strong>Simar</strong>"; for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) { echo $name."<br />"; } /* output: 0.<strong>Simar</strong> 1.<strong>Simar</strong> 2.<strong>Simar</strong> 3.<strong>Simar</strong> 4.<strong>Simar</strong> 5.<strong>Simar</strong> */ ?> https://www.sololearn.com/learn/PHP/1826/?ref=app

Simar, Use the string concatenation operator. He looks like this "." For example: $name."<br/>";

Simar instead : $name = "<strong>Simar</strong"; use: echo "<strong>".$name."<strong>"; it is recommended. <?php $name = "Simar"; for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) { echo "<strong>".$name."<strong>"."<br />"; }

you are missing a "." between "$name" and '"<br>";' here is your code: <?php $name = "<strong>Simar</strong"; for ($a = 0; $a < 6; $a++) { echo $name[[missing .]] "<br />"; } ?> fix it by making it: <?php $name = "<strong>Simar</strong"; for ($a = 0; $a < 6; $a++) { echo $name."<br />"; } ?>
