PHP Programming challenge help

Hello, I am stuck on this PHP programming challenge: Change the value in the flavor variable to cookie dough. Preview the code and make sure the message appears.

Here is the first code prior to the variable change:

<?php $flavor = 'vanilla';

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ",$flavor;

echo ".</p>"; if ($flavor == 'cookie dough') {echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is ", $flavor, " also!"; }

?>

When I change the variable from $flavor = 'vanilla'; to $flavor = 'cookie dough';

I receive "Oops it looks like task 3 is no longer passing"

Thanks in advance!

Can you post the link to the challenge pls?

If i remember it correctly it was "cookie dough." so you're missing a period. But post the link anyway pls.

Ok this was a little tricky:

The last part of the challenge asks you to change the flavor to 'cookie dough'

<?php
$flavor ="cookie dough";
?>

make sure it appears: change it in the if statement also:

if ($flavor = "cookie dough") {//than do something}...
                    !without a period / '.'

i normally dont want to just post the solution, but when i did this challenge i also thought that '.' is wanted or a typo. also you understood it obviously.

Now I am getting : "Bummer! be sure to add a conditional to hide the message" <?php $flavor = "vanilla";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ",$flavor;

echo ".</p>"; if ($flavor == "cookie dough") {echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is ", $flavor, " also!"; }

?>

I make my change in the variable to cookie dough like it asks:

<?php $flavor = "cookie dough";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ",$flavor;

echo ".</p>"; if ($flavor == "cookie dough") {echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is ", $flavor, " also!"; }

?>

Then the error I get is: "Oops! It looks like Task 3 is no longer passing."
