task two on intermediate PHP, how do you call the function and assign it to the variable?

I am working on task 2 of 3 on the intermediate level of PHP and I need to call the function and assign it to the variable for an echo output. Can anyone help with this? The code view is not working for me so I can't test my code before checking my work.

output.php 
<?php
include('flavor.php');
function get_flavor(){
  $flavor -> get_flavor(){
  }
  return $flavor;
}


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

?>

Task 2 says the include file already includes the function. So this code you wrote: 

function get_flavor(){
  $flavor -> get_flavor(){
  }
  return $flavor;
}

is in that file. You just need to call it, and assign it to a variable. Your code should look like this: 

<?php

include ('flavor.php');

$flavor = get_flavor();

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

?>

you have read the question wrong! it says the function already exists so you dont need to create it! Just try to call it & assign it to a variable!

let me know if you have any problems with this
