Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsMy apologies. The space at the end of the first string wasn't failing the challenge.
However what I said about the string being precise to pass the challenge was correct. There's a slight difference to the string you used and the one the challenge was expecting. Try
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment
if($studentOneGPA==4.0){
echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Role";
}else{
echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA ";
}
if($studentTwoGPA==4.0){
echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Role";
}else{
echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
?>
Try
<?php
echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Role";
?>
rather than
<?php
echo "$studentTwoName has made the Honor Role";
?>

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsYou have a trailing slash in one of your strings that might be fooling the challenge engine. Try changing it to below to see if you get a pass. It needn't be too much of a big issue but the challenges are specific on these things :)
if($studentOneGPA==4.0){
echo "$studentOneName has made the Honor Role";
}else{
echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}

Edit: Recoded, after several failed attempt and it passed. Not sure what made the difference in my case.
