Yes I've done that. But on the last challenge it say to set it to "cookie dough" and make sure to display the last echo but it send me back to challenge number 2 or 3.

OK, so in number 3, you are simply adding an if/then statement around the line:

echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";

if($flavor == "cookie dough"){
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
}

In challenge three, it then wants you to change $flavor from your favorite flavor to cookie dough.

$flavor = "cookie dough";

If that doesn't work, just paste your code into the forum and I or someone else can take a peak to see if you made a small mistake :)

(Make sure you see the video on the right navbar if you haven't yet so you can properly paste in code without it looking sloppy)

:) Hope this helps!

It's asking you to create a variable called $flavor, and set it equal to your favorite type of ice cream!

An example would be:

<?PHP
$flavor = "Mint Chocolate chip":
?>

Hope this helps! :D

Edit: Part 2 wants you to replace the echo "vanilla"; with a line of code that will echo the $flavor variable.
