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

Challenge broken?

I've attempted this multiple times and have yet to succeed on what seems to be a super simple request.

I've named the variable

$name = "Mike"

and then added the if statement: 

if( $name == 'Mike') {

}

I also attempted to match type(string) and value(Mike) based on the wording of the question: 

if( $name === 'Mike' ) {

}

Still incorrect.

Anyone else having these issues or am I just overlooking a glaring error in what seems to be a simple task?

Hi Colin,

From what I've seen in the forum it seems to be a known issue.

I think the general reply is to skip this challenge and come back to it once it has been confirmed to be resolved.

Thanks
