So, you want to echo out something, right? <?= is short for echo You can't echo a comment alone. You have to remove the /* and */ It should look like thsi <div id="col2"> <p><a href="<?= site_href( 'property/cmsindex' ); ?>">Properties</a></p> <h2>New property</h2> <p><?= $html->tagErrorMsg( 'property/name', 'Name must not be blank.' ); ?> <?= $html->tagErrorMsg( 'property/description', 'Description must not be blank.' ); ?></p> <? include( element_filename( "property_form" ) ); ?> </div> PHP: EDIT: Wait, did you already solve it?
