Am I wrong or is there an error with the marking?

I thought this was right, checked the Treehouse community to see if a similar question was asked about this particular challenge and have the exact same code as the suggested answer. Others say that they have used that answer and it was correct, however, when I do it all I receive is "Bummer! fail"

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 Role";
} else {
  echo $studentOneName. " has a GPA of ". $studentOneGPA; 
}

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

Change Honor Role to Honor Roll and it passes!

You wouldn't believe how long I've spent today trying to figure out what the issue could possibly be and trying to simplify the code as much as possible (hence the inclusion of two conditionals) only to learn that it was just a basic spelling change! At least that's done now, thanks

Why do you have two conditionals? Try getting rid of the second conditional.

<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0 ){
 echo $studentTwoName . " made the Honor Role"; 
} else {
  echo $studentTwoName . " has a GPA of " . $studentTwoGPA; 
}
?>

Hope this helps! ~Alex
