Please explain what I'm doing wrong.. Looking for more than just an answer.
Thank you, my excellent forum friends!
<?php
include("flavor.php");
$flavor = get_flavor();
echo "Hal's favorite flavor of ice cream is "$flavor";
?>

The issue you are having is you are not concatenating the variable $flavor properly in the echo statement. you need to use the concatenation operator "." before and after each new element. And you forgot to add a period at the end of the echo statement.

I totally agree, and yes it does work, but I think this is just style in this case, but I prefer the concatenation than just having the variable inside the string, for me it makes things easier to read and understand what is going on. That' s just me, and I think its just style. Good call on describing the different ways to complete the challenge.

Good call on the missing period.
I just wanted to add that the test will pass and work correctly without concatenation in this case also.
This is the code I used that passed:
<?php
include ("flavor.php");
$flavor = get_flavor();
echo "Hal's favorite flavor of ice cream is $flavor.";
?>

15,000 PointsHey Joshua,
Try removing the quotes around the variable in the echo statement :D
As it stands, you have the opening and closing double quotes for the echo statement, then you have an opening quote around the variable with no associated closing double quote. The variable won't need to be in its own set of quotes here.
Good luck!
