Looks good to me, still it's not working

What's wrong ?

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"; 
} else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA"; 
}

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

The test is finicky and looking for you to concatenate the fields. 

if ($studentOneGPA==4.0) {
  echo $studentOneName . " made the Honor Roll"; 
} else {
  echo $studentOneName . " has a GPA of " . $studentOneGPA; 
}

Edit: Did the challenge to verify the issue/solution. First one didn't pass even though it was valid.

In the last echo statement, the first variable, "studentTwoName", in your code has the first letter capitalized. Change it to lowercase and it should work.
