You need to write your PHP code inside <?php and ?> tags.

You cant just write your php code as a string. PHP interpreter needs to know what code should be interpreted.

EDIT:

You cant put variables names in quotes. Try this:

<?php echo '<div class="description">' . substr($data['description'], strpos($data['description'], $info['title']), 100) . '</div>'; ?>
