Why is this wrong? <?php $name = 'Mike'; if($name == 'Mike'){$string = 'Hi, I am' . $name .'!'}; echo $string; ?>

<?php $name = 'Mike'; if($name == 'Mike'){$string = 'Hi, I am' . $name .'!'}; echo $string; ?>

index.php 
<?php
$name = 'Mike';
if($name == 'Mike'){$string = 'Hi, I am' . $name .'!'};
echo $string;
?>

Finally, echo the following string inside of the if statement: 'Hi, I am Mike!'

You need to echo inside the if statement, not outside of it.

<?php
$name = 'Mike';
if($name == 'Mike') {echo 'Hi, I am Mike!';}
?>
