Hello,
I am doing something just terribly basic and feel like a dolt.
No matter which way I try it, everytime I try to issue the command: echo "something" or echo '$variable', I get a blank page.
I have checked phpinfo() and the display_error is On. I tried something like: echo ("something") and echo $variable...still nothing but a blank page.
What am I doing wrong?! 😕
Attached is an example of the exact code I am trying to use.
Thank you for ANY suggestions you may have.

$total = $total + ($total * $taxrate);
$total = number_format($total, 2); // Format the results.
//Print the results.
echo 'You are purchasing <b>' . $quantity. '</b> widget(s) at a cost of <b>\$' . $price . '</b> each. With tax, the total comes to <b>\$' . $total . '</b>';

Ok, I have modified this code and removed the supercilious ')' from it. It still does not work.
