I'm pretty sure my code is correct, it's even showing up fine in the preview. What am I doing wrong?

I really do think my code is correct for the purpose of this challenge. It's showing up fine in the preview. Am I missing something here? Thanks!

index.php 
<?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 Roll"; 
} elseif ($studentOneGPA != 4.0) {
  echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA"; 
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll"; 
} elseif ($studentTwoGPA != 4.0) {
  echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA"; 
}

?>

Hello! Try to use if else instead of if elseif

<?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 Roll'."\n"; } else { echo "$studentOneName".' has a GPA of '."$studentOneGPA"."\n"; }

if ($studentTwoGPA >= 4.0) { echo "$studentTwoName".' made the Honor Roll'."\n"; } else { echo "$studentTwoName".' has a GPA of '."$studentTwoGPA"."\n"; } ?>

Thanks, that was it. Even though my code was correct, just using 'else' is more logical here indeed.
