Any Idea?

index.php 
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
$GPA = 4.0;
if($studentOneGPA === $GPA)
  echo "$stundentOneName made the Honor Roll\n";
else
  echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of  $GPA\n";

if($studentTwoGPA === $GPA)
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll\n";
else
  echo "$studentTwoName has a $studentTwoGPA of $GPA\n";

You forgot about using { and }!

Try this:

index.php 
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
$GPA = 4.0;
if($studentOneGPA === $GPA) {
  echo "$stundentOneName made the Honor Roll\n";
} else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of  $GPA\n";
}

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

Good luck! ~alex

Alex Thank you for the answer! The problem is the same! "Bummer! You need to check that $studentOneGPA is equal to 4.0"

Oh think this is because the code challenge is picky and looked at the condition and thought it would be $studentOneGPA == 4.0 but it wasn't.

Try getting rid of the GPA variable and replacing all existence of it with the value 4.0 like this:

<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
if($studentOneGPA === 4.0) {
  echo "$stundentOneName made the Honor Roll\n";
} else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of  $GPA\n";
}

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

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure'; $studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment if($studentOneGPA === 4.0) { echo "$stundentOneName made the Honor Roll\n"; } else { echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of 4.0 \n "; }

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

"Bummer! Use the variables to display the message"

Alex thanks again! I can't find any solution!
