Code:
&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title;?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

The above code seems to give me an error when I add it to my header file as shown below.

Code:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title;?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;assets/css/style.css" type="text/css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

Whay could be the problem guys.All the help will be appreciated.
