Bummer! You need to 'echo' the value in $flavor.

<?php

$flavor = "vanilla";

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

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

?>

echo vanilla using the variable, not a string! or concatenate it by doing... <?php $flavor = "vanilla";

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

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

?>

$flavor = "vanilla";

echo "Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo $flavor; echo ".";

if ($flavor=="cookie dough"); { echo "

Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!

"; } ?>

You have to replace the string "vanilla" in the second string with your variable. In my case would be like this:

<?php
$flavor = "chocolate";

echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice-cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

I hope that helps a little bit.
