What is your question? If you got an error, it's probably because you forgot your closing curly bracket.

Great job! :thumbsup: There are some errors, though. First, you made the $name variable, check. Second, when you want to get the value of $name, you need to use the exact same name, not the content of the variable. Lastly, you need the closing curly brace } for the if condition. Try this code:

<?php

$name = "Mike";

if ($name == "Mike") {
  echo $name;
}

?>

Hope that helps! :dizzy:
