The output that I am getting here looks correct. Is there something in this question that I am missing?

I am confused about where I am going wrong. My output looks correct.

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 . " has made the Honor Roll.\n";
} else {
  echo $studentOneName . " has a GPA of " . $studentOneGPA . ".\n";
}

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

Hey Patrick,

I think it may have something to do with you using concatenation instead of just having PHP interpret the variables inside of the double quotes.

Have a look at this Post. Willam provides a nice answer for another student.

Hi Patrick, there is also small typo in sentence ' has made the Honor Roll.' should be only ' made the Honor Roll.' without has...

Good eye Daniel! It was the "has" typo.

Thank you.
