My code is not working. I have followed many questions and examples on this exercise already. What is wrong with my code

The error message says, "Use the variable names."

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 HonorRoll";
}else {
  echo $studentTwoGPA . " has a GPA of " . $studentTwoGPA;
}

?>

Looks like in your second conditional in the else, you're using the wrong variable $studentTwoGPA

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0){
  echo $studentTwoName . " made the HonorRoll";
}else {
  echo $studentTwoGPA . " has a GPA of " . $studentTwoGPA;
}
