Variables and Conditionals 4 of 4

I am struggled with Variables and Conditionals 4 of 4 Challenge Tasks. Please help me to understand what wrong with this php.

<code>

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

?>

</code>

Question 4 asks you to do the following:

Change the value in the flavor variable to cookie dough. Preview the code and make sure the message appears.

In the code you provided, it looks as if you've used tow <?php ... ?> tags; whereas you can get away with using just one. Also, remember that the question is asking you to change the value of $flavor to "cookie dough". It doesn't look like you've done that; your $flavor variable still has a value of "vanilla".

Change the variable's value and see if that fixes anything. Let me know if you're still struggling with this question.

Best of luck!

Oops! Thank you for noticing that. It is really simple question.
