If & else Statements, i've changed the value to Cookie Dough and have set the conditionals for my fav, else doesnt work

So i'm struggling with getting the code to execute when i put a conditional of onto the else statement. I'm unsure what to do as i tried to change Randys favourite flavour to a elseif & a if statement but doesnt' work. I tried to $flavor == "cookie dough" in conditional. I also tried overwritting the data $flavor = "cookie dough" while leaving vanilla

index.php 
<?php
$flavor = "cookie dough";
if ($flavor == "vanilla"){
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is $flavor";
  echo ".</p>";}
if($flavor == "cookie dough"){
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is $flavor, also!</p>";
}
  else(){}
?>

Make it one condition if block like below, if you use consecutive if statements they are treated as different code blocks block hence the control flow won't execute as expected. . .

<?php 

if (condition) {
    # code...
} 
elseif (condition) {
    # code...
}
else {
    # code...
}
?>
