Echo php code error?

My thing is when I echo my php code it doesnt echo the code it echo's numbers in return I am trying to add a PHP code to my website so every week the text on the website would update from a stored file like quotes.txt. Is there something wrong with my php any suggestions? Here is a screenshot of what happens https://gyazo.com/fba5fc414228b1ab2a79bb877642477a

My Code : 

        <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="teachings">
            <h1 id="teach">Teaching's</h1>
            <hr>
            <?php 
$text = file_get_contents("quotes.txt");  
$text = trim($text); //This removes blank lines so that your 
//explode doesn't get any empty values at the start or the end.     
$array = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);
$lineNumber = date('s');

echo "<p>$lineNumber</p>";
?>
            <h1>Weekly Teachings :</h1>
            <br>
        </div>
    </div>

You are echoing the currect second value from a date('s') function call

I assume you want to echo the number of lines in the array

$array = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);
$lineNumber = count($array);

echo "<p>$lineNumber</p>";

But if you intended something else, add a comment I I will attempt to change this answer accordingly

RE: Your comment below, then you want to do 

echo "<p>{$array[0]}</p>";

What you want to do is 

echo $array[$lineNumber];

That will echo the quote whose line number is the week number.
