Challenge 4 is a Bummer because it states "Change the value in the flavor variable to cookie dough. Preview the code and make sure the message appears." Then one of the error messages is "Bummer! Be sure to add a conditional to hide the message." This could bee a little confusing, especially at this stage of the game.

I'm going to post the code below; look at it carefully.

Jeff

Code Challenge 1 of 4

<?php
$flavor = "chocolete";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "vanilla";
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

Code Challenge 2 of 4

<?php
$flavor = "chocolete";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

Code Challenge 3 of 4

<?php
$flavor = "chocolete";

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

?>

Code Challenge 4 of 4

<?php
$flavor = "cookie dough";

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>";
}

?>

I'm at stage 4 and really dont know what to do! "Change the value in the flavor variable to cookie dough. Preview the code and make sure the message appears.

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

I am new on this website so im not quiet sure how i can explain on what challenge i am but it's about flavors :)

On the fourth question you are asked to change the $flavor variable to "cookie dough" (all lower case). After doing this the if conditional will be true and the echo statement will execute, providing you type $favor == "cookie dough" and not $favor == "Cookie Dough".

            Well if i change that it will say that my information does not match with stage for example 1 etc.. but the code im using now gives me this  as an error when im trying to pass the challenge "Bummer! Be sure to add a conditional to hide the message." when im using the code i wrote in comment.

Could you copy the code for me here?

$flavor = "cookie dough"; 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>"; }

that code worked for me i just had to start from challenge 1 again! :)
