I need to understand whats wrong with this, how do I multiply each other with echo?

thanks!

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5; 

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1; 
var_dump($integerOne);
var_dump($integerTwo);

echo "$integerOne * $floatOne";
?>

Your code actually works just fine. Great job! However, the challenge is expecting the only output from your code to be that echo. I know the error message it gives makes it sound like you shouldn't use var_dump for just that specific value, but it actually means you can't use var_dump anywhere in this code. Once I remove the 2 calls you made to var_dump, your code passes the challenge for me without issue
