I don't understand. What I need to do first?

<?php $flavor = null; if echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo "vanilla"; echo ".</p>"; echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

index.php 
<?php
$flavor = null;
if 
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "vanilla";
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

?>

Hi Baur.

"First, create a new variable named flavor and assign your favorite flavor as the value." the challenge is asking you to store a string value in a variable named $flavor:

like this:

<?php
$flavor = "cream"; 
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "vanilla";
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Hal's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
?>
