Moved to programming inquires.
Do you want the echo by itself in the page? like without any html tags?
Sorry if i got you wrong, did not fully understand your question tbh :p

Anything not enclosed within <?php and ?> tags are considered markup. See example below;
<?php
$age = 10;
?>
<b><?php echo $age; ?></b>
The code is kind of useless but it's an example, $age = 10 is PHP and enclosed in PHP tags. After that we're using HTML code using bold tags and echoing age in php tags again. I hope you kind of understand what I'm trying to illustrate here.
