Beginning php study

Hi, just beginning my study of php and got stuck right off the bat. I saved
the following to a page called test.php.

<? php
$age = 67;
echo $age;
?>

Looking at it in the browser I get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
C:\XAMPP\xampplite\htdocs\nitefly\FCU\FCU\test.php on line 6

Line 6 was the $age=67.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
