Problem 2/4 PHP "Variables and conditionals"

Alright so before I spent the time to make this "question" which is more of a comment or an observation than a real question but let me cut to the chase, I spent around 15 minutes working on the 2/4 of this here part of the quiz I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were asking me to do. I did 1/4 just fine made a nice conditional and everything and it was accepted. I'll show what i did here that it accepted for the first question:

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

Alright so everything's fine and dandy I thought I did a decent enough job with the coding you requested, I get to part two and read the question and was honestly quite confused after reading what you asked me to do at this point I spent the better part of 15-20 minutes fiddling with it before going onto the forums reading what a couple people had to say spending another ten minutes trying to make the code I used on 1/4 work on 2/4. After awhile I go back to the forums and finally see what a classmate posted that was what worked for him 2/4 which I will also post:

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

?>[/code]

Completely different code. I see now that we were supposed to use what you had placed there but maybe that should have been more clear as I took the text that was there and made it into a more workable code (atleast in my opinion) but regardless maybe some look should be taken into some of the questions wording and how the challenges are setup, my buddy is also having similar problems in another class with the wording on code challenges and a couple other portions of the site.
