Echo the following Sentence in If Statement 'Hi, I am Mike!' Echo doesn't pass.

Hello!

I need help again :) If anyone can offer advice I'd appreciated it. The following code isn't passing - <?php $name = "Mike";

if($name == "Mike"){ $info='Hi, I am Mike!'; } ?> I'm curious if I'm missing something because the Error states "Make sure you use the exact wording from the the sentence above". An earlier error I saw in Forums showed the user typed a small L.. I did not, I typed a "I" as it shows in the sentence.

What else is wrong with this last question?

Thanks! Sherry

Did you try double-quotes at the point you assign "Hi, I am Mike!" to $info?

Hi,

in the challange you are not supposed to initialize variable $info with the sentence "Hi, I am Mike!" but you shall echo it. So just use:

echo "Hi, I am Mike!";
