This seems to generate the correct output but the challenge just tells me Bummer! fail

I am not sure if this is an error or if I am missing something. It looks like it should work. Am I 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.\"" ."\n";
} else {
echo "\"$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA.\"" ."\n";
}

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

Hello i think the code your looking for is this:

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";
}
