I'm having trouble on question 2 of 3 on PHP Basics, Conditionals Challenge

The question is:

Under the variable $name create a if statement that test to see that the $name variable is set to the string 'Mike'.

I've obviously gotten the first question correct. So, so far, I have

<?php $name = "Mike";

if ( ){} ?>

I've tried quite a bit of variations of what I think might be the correct answer, but haven't had much luck.

Thank you in advance!

index.php 
<?php
$name = "Mike";

if (  ){}
?>

Hi Lindsay,

Do you remember the operator used when checking for equality? Once you have that, check for equality between the $name variable and the string 'Mike' as the conditional statement.

Thank you Robert, you're a lifesaver! I always seem to make things a little more complicated than they have to be! lol.
