My code is working as it should, but the Code Challange doesn't accept it...

Hi!

So I wrote this code in my code challange and it runs correctly and displays the requested infromation, but it doesn't accept it.

Can you help me please?

index.php 
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment

if ($studentOneGPA >= 4.0) {
  echo "$studentOneName".' made the Honor Roll'."\n";
  } else {
      echo "$studentOneName".' has a gpa of '."$studentOneGPA"."\n";
}

if ($studentTwoGPA >= 4.0) {
  echo "$studentTwoName".' made the Honor Roll'."\n";
  } else {
      echo "$studentTwoName".' has a gpa of '."$studentTwoGPA"."\n";
}
?>

Okay I sorted this out! There are some serious issues in this code challange... if I format it differently it will accept the code... Treehouse should look after this issue!

Hi there! Close, very close. But your output isn't what the challenge is expecting. In fact, the Bummer! message indicates this:

Bummer! Make sure you use the proper case

Your strings do not match exactly. The "gpa" should be uppercased to "GPA" in both instances. If I make this tiny correction, your code passes!

Challenges can be very exacting even down to spelling, spacing, capitalization, and punctuation. In some instances, if the output does not match every character exactly, the challenge will fail.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
