PHP conditionals challenge

It is saying make sure you add the else blocks in the error message. I'm stuck on this and its frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

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

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

//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentOneGPA === 4.0) {
   echo $studentOneName . " " . 'made the Honor Roll';
} elseif ($studentTwoGPA === 4.0) {
   echo $studentTwoName . " " . 'made the Honor Roll';
} elseif ($studentOneGPA === 3.8) {
   echo $studentOneName . " " . 'has a GPA of GPA';
} elseif ($studentTwoGPA === 3.8) {
   echo $studentTwoName . " " . 'has a GPA of GPA'; 
}

?>

I figured it out just restarted the challenge

if ($studentOneGPA === 4.0) { echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll"; } else { echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA"; }

Just completed it. Don't forget second half If ($studentTwoGPA===4.0) etc

When the challenge says "has a GPA of GPA" it meant something like "has a GPA of 10"

Now I get unexpected end of file

$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

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

//Place your code below this comment
//check first student
if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) {
   echo $studentOneName . " made the Honor Roll";
} else {
   echo $studentOneName . " has a GPA of " . $studentOneGPA;
//check second student
if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
   echo $studentTwoName . " made the Honor Roll";
} else {
   echo $studentTwoName . " has a GPA of " . $studentTwoGPA; 
}

At the bottom of the code, there should be "?>" instead of "```?>". I struggle with this challenge myself since I mada a code that works just fine. And in the description is said if it's not equal to "4.0" but unfortunately, it wants you to check if it is equal and then use the else statement. But your second code in the comment looks like it should work.
