Code Challenge Help!

I got to this step on the last Code Challenge for Creating the Menu and Footer in Build a Simple PHP Application. I know I have two other forum posts about code challenges, but that just shows how bad I am at this. Here is my code:

<?php
$flavor = "Coffee";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
<?php if ($flavor == "cookie dough") { echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>"; } ?>
?>

Please Help!

I don't know what code challenge you're on but if I'm right your conditional should have the variable $flavor and check if it is Randy's flavor.

Hope that helps.

I am on the last code challenge in Creating the Menu and Footer badge, inside of Build a Simple PHP Application in the Programming course from the library. I posted the wrong code at the end there. Here is what I actually have:

<?php
$flavor = "Coffee";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
<?php if ($flavor  == "cookie dough") { echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>"; } ?>
?>

It looks like you have too many closing PHP tags.

Oh never mind that but you should take you opening and closing PHP tags on the sixth line.

<?php $flavor = "Coffee"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo $flavor; echo ".</p>"; if ($flavor == "cookie dough") { echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>"; } ?>

This should work - you had an opening php tag just before the 'if' statement which wasn't required.
