Bummer, Head starting to hurt

Code works on workspace, as far as I can see my spacing is right and the spelling are correct. But I get Bummer Failed. any Ideas...

index.php
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment

if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll.";
} else {
  echo "$studenetOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll.";
} else {
  echo "$studenetTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
?>

So for this one it looks like if there are any spaces the code will not pass which does go along with the examples that are given in the videos or from the PHP doc website. Thanks to Jason Anders post I was able to get it to pass

Hi Brad,

You do have some typos in your output string. You're saying "studenet" instead of "student" at times,

<?php
if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll.";
} else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll.";
} else {
  echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
?>

First try fixing this part of your string and see if it helps! :-)
