PHP PHP Basics (Retired) PHP Datatypes PHP Datatypes Challenge

Challenge Task 1 of 7

I cannot get the computer to get past my first task and I know it is right. It keeps saying there's a communication problem. So I go back to the overview and try it again but it still doesn't work. If you guys are not fixing the problem, may you please fix it because I am one step from completing an achievement and I have tried for days. :)

Have you tried something like this?

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$integer_one = 1;

$integer_two = 2;

?>

the communication problem thing i have ran into a lot in the db stuff. close everything but browser type your code in copy it if you get the communication problem refresh the page two or three times and past you code and hit submit it works for me some times if there are more then one task use note pad to store you answers the faster you can get them into the challenge the less likely to get the error. i have found but its a pain in the ass when you have like 4 + questions when it keeps showing up you can also email treehouse help.

your code is wrong! the challenge asks you to create two variables.. i cannot see any?
