title: php displaying "; ?> no matter what I do
body: <p>I have been trying to follow the code written on youtube for creating a comment section for my website. </p>
  
  <p>I use the following code for the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  echo "&lt;form&gt;
  &lt;input type=-'hidden' name='uid' value='Anonymous'&gt;
  &lt;input type='hidden' name='date' value='".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."'&gt;
  &lt;textarea name='message'&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;button type='submit' name='submit'&gt;Comment&lt;/button&gt;
  &lt;form&gt;";
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I preview in browser it shows the Comment button followed by ""; ?>" </p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3NzPI.png" alt="Image of what it shows in the preview - ">
  Everything is within the proper fields - I cannot figure out for the life of me what I am doing wrong - I followed the video to the T, and there are tons of comments saying that the code works - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LmPeHX7RRo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LmPeHX7RRo</a></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? </p>
