Hi Tapiwa, you are missing the spaces between the variables and the string literals you are concatenating together.

<?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;
};
