PHP is seeing the $ and thinking that $p is a variable. As you have
errors and notices turned off, you aren't seeing the notice that you are
trying to use an undefined variable.
There are several ways to get round this:
* escape like \$
* put the $p inside of single quotes in your echo
* use an escape code for the dollar
