What the task is asking you to do is change the $flavor variable to "cookie dough", so all you have to do is change the first flavor variable to "cookie dough".

Also your second echo command is incorrect, it should be echo $flavor so it displays the value of your flavor variable.

Remember this task is all about variables and conditionals, it is important that you understand why your code is not working before moving on, if you don't understand it you will struggle later on, so it may be worth watching the video again.

So delete this

<?php
$flavor="cookie dough";

and change your $flavor variable to cookie dough.

Also change this

echo "vanilla";

to this

echo $flavor;
