Repeated error msg: "don't forget to INCLUDE file" the include statement is correct, and the file exists in the inc folder in my workspace. How hard can this be???

<?php include 'favorites.php'; ?>
They should have foreseen this as a possible mistake and given better feedback.

14,380 PointsThanks, Matthew. I thought the same thing earlier, tried it along with all the other variations, but that error msg persists. Just tried it again to make sure I hadn't fat-fingered it, but nope. It just doesn't like any valid answer.

5,965 PointsReally?
Double checking by copying that line onto line 7 of the code challenge passes for me.
If yours isn't working that is definitely strange.

14,380 PointsThanks for mentioning that, Matthew. I'll try it in another browser and/or computer now. Very weird.

14,380 PointsThanks for the quick response, Darrell. I tried that, and every variation I could think of: in-line <php?, double-quotes, single. etc. The lesson before this challenge shows the format as I originally wrote, but nothing works, and all generate that same error.
