A few things are wrong here, you've declared and assigned you variable correctly but you only need to do it once. I see it twice in your code. Your echo statement doesn't need the assignment operator/equal sign.

You are almost there. As said above, you only need to declare $name once and you don't need an equal sign with an echo statement. Also, I would suggest keeping your code formatted or indented so that you can read it more clearly.

$name = "Mike";
if ($name == "Mike") {
echo "Hi, I am Mike!";
}
