Coding Header and Footer Verticle Menu Despite PHP

Hi I've got the following html menu

<a href="http://ww.trueternalbeauty.com">Home </a>| <a href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/iabraham/Desktop/">About</a> | <a href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/iabraham/Desktop/"> Blog</a> | <a href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/iabraham/Desktop/"> F.A.Q</a> | <a href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/iabraham/Desktop/"> Disclaimer</a>

and in my header.php file I added the following code: 

        <?php

           $args = array(
            'menu' => 'main-menu',
            'echo' => 'false'
           );


            echo strip_tags(wp_nav_menu( $args),'<a>');

        ?>

as instructed in the video, however upon refresh my menu is still vertical instead of horizontal...someone please help!

Nevermind I figured it out:

There is a correction needed for the code, posted in the video entitled: Coding the header and footer templates:

it should read <?php

       $args = array(
        'menu' => 'main-menu',
        'echo' => false
       );


        echo strip_tags(wp_nav_menu( $args),'<a>');

    ?>

instead of what I have above in my initial post. This correction will allow your menu to display horizontally instead of vertically.

I'm trying to find the solution to the same problem, but it's unclear what you are saying above? I ended up copying the sample files over what I had created from the tutorial, but still having the same problem. Hoping someone can shed some light on this...

                    <?php

                        $args = array(
                            'menu' => 'main-menu',
                            'echo' => false
                        );


                        echo strip_tags(wp_nav_menu( $args ), '<a>');

                    ?>
