Modify the command that displays the flavor of ice cream. Instead of it displaying a static piece of text, change it to display the value stored in the 'flavor' variable.
Bummer! Be sure to update the output to include your flavor, without changing any of the other code.
<?php $flavor = "favorite flavor"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo $flavor = "vanilla"; echo ".</p>";
$flavor = "cookie dough";
if($flavor == "cookie dough"){
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is $flavor , also!</p> ";}
?>
In the videos he explain how to use the variable setting in different pages. I am lost on how to reset the variable on the same page.

19,488 PointsThank you for your help but this will mess up the first variable of vanilla. The problem I see is on the videos he makes a variable on one page and changes then on other pages. On the test the first question is to make a variable named flavor $flavor = "favorite; second is instead of text echo "vanilla"; to change to the variable. echo $flavor = "vanilla"; Third question is to set a condition the read cookie dough and hide the output. if ($flavor = "cookie dough){echo "Randy's favorite flavor $flavor , also!} passed all to this point forth question change the $flavor to cookie dough.

7,634 Pointsexactly... you need to change the code so ...
$flavor = "cookie dough";
only once you have done that will the IF condition be true and the echo will display.. ignore the previous questions and consider this separate.

19,488 PointsI have done that , If you preview it you can see the way it is suppose to look. Click on the submit button and it does not pass What I wrote <?php $flavor = "favorite"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo $flavor = "vanilla"; echo ".</p>"; $flavor ="cookie dough"; if($flavor == "cookie dough"){ echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is $flavor, also!</p>";} ?>

Again thank you for your help
