Hey!

I can spot a couple of things you'll need to change to pass this challenge.

Here's the working code:

<?php

$name = "Mike";
if ($name == "Mike") {

}
?>

Make sure you're closing tags look like

?>

instead of

<?

If statements must be opened and closed by an opening and closing curly brace.:

<?php

if ($somethingIsTrue) {
    // Do this!
}

if statements also begin with a lowercase I.

Watch that typo on your echo statement:

<?php

 echon "Hi, I am"."!";

// should be

 echo "Hi, I am"."!";

and make sure you only answer what the challenge is asking for - I removed the echo statement from the answe :)

Hope this helps!
