Simple php echo issue in html
<p>I'm playing around with creating iphone webpages with html5 and using php, in my code below when I run it for some reason the php part instead of echoing the variable it doesn't print anything to the screen, any ideas?  thanks</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width"/&gt;
 &lt;meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /&gt;
 &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="iphone.css" media="screen"/&gt;
&lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;


      &lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
      &lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
      &lt;ul&gt;
        &lt;li class="arrow"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Out&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
        &lt;li class="arrow"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Connect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
        &lt;li class="arrow"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Disconnect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;



      &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Status:&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;?php
$myString = "Hello!";
echo $myString;
?&gt;
      &lt;/center&gt;

    &lt;/div&gt;



  &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;
