Conditional Code Check

I pass the code check on step 1, 2 and 3, but when I get to 4 I get an error:

<?php
$flavor = "cookie dough";
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!";
}
?>

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It displays correct in the test area.

Although the semantics are right, it gets a little messed up when it gets validated by treehouse engine because of the missing <p> and </p>. Try writing the code without removing the <p> and </p> tags. I think that would solve it.

Yes, it looks like it's the missing paragraph tags that are causing the problem. Try this:

<?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>";
}
?>
