Instead of replacing the value directly inside the original variable, try to rewrite the variable and the new value.

            <?php
          $flavor = "vanilla"; 
          $flavor = "cookie dough";
    ?>

I've experienced a similar issue with another exercise. And doing it solved the problem, even if doing what you did isn't a mistake.

You do need to change vanilla to cookie dough. I was stuck on this one for about 15 minutes because it kept throwing errors. I had to start over and it accepted the answer. If it helps, my final code is:

<?php
$flavor = "cookie dough";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";

if ($flavor == "cookie dough") {
    echo "<p>Randys favorite flavor is ".$flavor.", also!</p>";
}
?>
