Hi, welcome to Dev Shed.

You will need to give a bit more information. Such as:

Does your page have a .php extension or are you making .wml parse as PHP?
What content-type headers are you sending to the browser/emulator?

Can you show your relevant code?

Your code is incorrect. You haven't escaped the "quotes" properly -
best using 'single quotes' IMHO.

You have a tag-soup too. Incorrectly nested <p>paragraphs</p>

You can get a firefox extension to check in a web browser.
Opera allows you to view wml pages too..

php Code:

Original - php Code

<?php 
// send wml headers 
header ('Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml'); 
echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" 
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">'."\n"; 
?> 
<wml> 
<card id="card1" title="Hello World!"> 
 
<p>Welcome...</p>
 
<?php 
echo '<p>';
echo "hello ";
$the_date = date("M d Y"); 
echo $the_date; 
echo "<br/>Welcome to a PHP-enabled site!"; 
echo '</p>';
?>
 
<p>after date</p>
 
</card> 
</wml>

HTH.

Copy and paste the code I provided you!!

You have the same errors as the original snippet you posted.
Are you sure that the page is being parsed as php??

Well, if it not parsing the .wml it means that your server isn't configured to do so.

You can:
a) change to .php or
b) configure apache to treat .wml as php -
this may lead to slight rise in overhead...
See this post on how to configure apache
