Trouble with Build a simple PHP application Challenge Task 4

Hi there, I'm having trouble with Task 4 on the Challenge for 'Build a Simple PHP application' videos. Here is my code:
<?php $flavor = "vanilla";

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

if($flavor == "cookie dough") { echo "<p>Randys favorite flavor is " . $flavor . ", also!</p>"; } ?> It isn't validating when I change the $flavor variable to 'cookie dough' and tells me that Task 2 is incomplete. Thanks for your time. Regards.. Tom

HI Thomas if you follow the challenge step by step: <?php

  // Task 1 
  $flavor = 'vanilla';

  //Task 2
   echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; 
   echo $flavor;
   echo ".</p>";

  // Task 3
  if($flavor == 'cookie dough'){ 
        echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
   }

  //Task 4 - change the value in the variable
  $flavor = 'cookie dough';
  //preview the page and you will see that the message in the "if" conditional will be shown

Ah that's great, took me a while. Little bit confusing, I'll remember to keep the format the same as it's presented to me.

Thanks again for your time.

Kind regards,

Tom.

You should not change $flavor up the code ... you just create new $flavor as Moriah wrote to you. :)
