The message in the final echo command only makes sense if your favorite flavor is the same as Hal's. 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 disappear
<?php
$flavor = "Chocolate";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is $, also!</p>";
?>

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

I believe they're looking for an if/else conditional statement. For instance:
echo ".</p>";
if($flavor == "cookie dough") {
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is also cookie dough!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Too bad Hal doesn't love $flavor like I do!</p>";
}

36,545 PointsYou were missing the flavor part in the final line
<?php
$flavor = "Chocolate";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is $flavor, also!</p>";
?>

$flavor = "moose tracks";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is <?php echo $flavor ?>";
echo "vanilla";
echo ".</p>";
if ( $flavor == "cookie dough" ) {
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
}
?>
Here's my code. It worked, but why is 'echo "vanilla";' even included? I feel like its a red herring. The last part of this task was a little confusing and less practical. Am I just whining or does this make sense?

10,341 PointsYou have to create another variable that has the value for Hal's favorite ice cream flavor and use it for the "elseif" statement.
