Code Challenge Task 3 - Build a Basic PHP Website

<?php
$flavor = "mint";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
if($flavor == "cookie dough") {
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
} else if($flavor == "mint") {
echo "<p>Hal is not a fan of the $flavor :(</p>"
}

?>

The Bummer! message is: We tried setting $flavor to "cookie dough", but we didn't see the message "Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!".

That Bummer! message is misleading. The problem is actually that you're missing a semicolon on your last(ish) line of code:

echo "<p>Hal is not a fan of the $flavor :(</p>"
