PHP Variables and Conditionals code challenge

Hi i wonder if someone could help me here? Im stuck on the last question of the code challenge. On Variables and Conditionals and i have absolutely no idea what to do. Everything i try seems to be wrong it driving me mad.

the question is:

Change the value in the flavor variable to cookie dough. Preview the code and make sure the message appears. Your code from each task should be added to the code written in the previous task.

my code:

<?php $flavor = "vanilla"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo $flavor; echo ".</p>"; $flavor = "cookie dough"; if ($flavor == "cookie dough") echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

Hey Robbie,

Glad you were able to resolve this. :) It looks like you're having fun with coding though, which is great. Writing code can be difficult at times, but patience and a sense of humor helps!

I am stuck on the final part of the quiz, I have changed the variables to cookie dough and it still tells me that I am wrong. I have been going back and forth here and its driving me nuts.

<?php $flavor = "cookie dough"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; if ($flavor == "cookie dough"){ echo "cookie dough"; } if ($flavor == "vanilla"){ echo "off"; } echo ".</p>";

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

I keep on getting an issue with the final task, my issue is that it tells me "Oops! It looks like Task 3 is no longer passing." When I change the value of $flavor

TASK 4 

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

?>

TASK 3 Passes 

<?php
 $flavor = "Bacon";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor ;
echo ".</p>";
if ($flavor == "cookie dough"){
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is  cookie dough, also!</p>";
}
?>
