Reviewing PHP basics

The challenge wants you to replace the "_____" with the php code that will generate the favorite flavor ( which is stored in the variable $flavor ) I would guess it should look something like this:

<?php 
include("flavor.php"); 
$flavor = get_flavor(); 
echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is " . $flavor . ".";  
?>

try this it's really work for me

$flavor = "cookie dough.";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";



if ($flavor == "cookie dough.") {
echo ".</p>";
}
?>

I'm having trouble with this challenge question as well. The area is Creating the Menu and Footer. The Code Challenge: Variable and Conditionals.

Here is the exact question from the challenge and the coding that has been edited by the three previous questions within the challenge. The answers you have given us were not taught in this particular lesson.

QUESTION: The message in the final echo command only makes sense if your favorite flavor is the same as mine. Add a conditional around that final echo command that checks if the flavor variable has a value of "cookie dough." (Remember to choose carefully between using a single equal sign and a double equal sign in the check.) Preview the code and, if you have a different flavor, make sure the message disappears.

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

?>

Thank you in advance for your help!

hi, my code in the task three is that one. why it continues to say that task one is no longer passing? thanks

<?php include('flavor.php'); $flavor= get_flavor(); echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is ".$flavor."."; ?>

echo "Hal's favorite flavor of ice cream is ". $flavor . "."; this one work for me.

echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is" . $flavor . ".";

this is what i have got i am here for half hour and thinking it can't be wrong after all all that i was missing was the space b4 is

echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is " . $flavor . "."; 

:(

The code below will work but make sure to delete spaces for < p > and < / p > in the code. Without spaces will not display here so that is why there are spaces for your pleasures.

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

Man that was an annoying one

This code worked for me.

1. First the idea is to encapsulate the last line to be executed after an if() statement equals true. Here is the code we start out with:

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

1. Encapsulate the whole line inside {pointed brackets} even with the semi-colon inside. This will be placed after the completed if() statement, which the statement is set to ($flavor == "cookie dough"). Which in this case, $flavor is set to "cookie dough", and since "cookie dough" is equal to "cookie dough", allows the following code to run:

<?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>";}
?>

1. and for minimalization:

<?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 ' .$flavor. ', also!</p>';} //use concatenation while canceling the apostrophe with the \ key to remove repeated strings
?>

(I had problems on this too, so typing this out helps me understand this situation myself and hopefully it helps anyone along the way as well) thanks~

You all made it more difficult than it had to be. Here is the easiest way:

<?php
$flavor = "chocolate";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "$flavor";
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is $flavor, also!</p>";

?>

<?php include("flavor.php"); $flavor = get_flavor(); echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is cookie dough."; echo $flavor ?>

That's the code I used to pass the challenge
