PHP PHP Basics (Retired) PHP Conditionals & Loops Conditionals Challenge

"Bummer! I cannot see your 'if' statement"?

During PHP Conditionals & Loops during the first code challenge: task 2, I am hitting a bug that says "Bummer! I cannot see your 'if' statement". I am providing the code it requests in the correct context and syntax.

<?php

$name = 'Mike';

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

?>

The task reads "Under the variable $name create a if statement that test to see that the $name variable is set to the string 'Mike'."

Thank you, Matt

Try putting everything on separate lines

I tried with no result. The engine checking the code does not recognize the if statement.

This challenge is currently broken, there is no way to complete it as of now.
