That's a good start, your condition now needs to test if the student's gpa is equal to 4.0. If it's equal echo out the requested "Honor Roll" string. If it isn't equal, echo out the "has GPA" string. Do this twice, once for each student.

this is what i have so far

<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment

if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) {
echo " Dave made the Honor Roll";
} else {
echo "Dave has a GPA of $studentOneGPA"
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "Treasure made the Honor Roll"
} else {
"Treasure has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA"
}

?>

Vince - try echoing out 

"$studentOneName made the Honor Roll";

like that every time the student's name is supposed to be mentioned. Use the variable instead of a String Literal that has the variable's value.
