31,249 PointsHi John, I've copied your code below and added comments for things that don't look quite right:
<?php
$flavor = "Chicken";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "<?php echo $flavor ?>"; // No need to use another set of php tags and an echo statement here
if ($flavor == "cookie dough."){ // this requires the user to enter a full stop after cookie dough for this condition to match
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>"; // as $flavor equals cookie dough, you can echo the variable instead
}
else {
echo ".</p>"; // no need for an else statement here, if $flavor doesn't equal cookie dough, it can be ignored. But note that if $flavor does equal cookie dough, your code will have two opening <p> tags and one closing </p> tag.
}
?>
If any of the above is unclear, let me know. Good luck.
