This question says to make the message disappear if the conditional returns true. What does it mean? I have tried a few things. just not giving it the answer it wants.

Basically this

$flavor = "cookies and cream"

echo 'My favorite ice cream is' . $flavor;

if ($flavor == "cookie dough."){ echo "wow we like the same kind of cookies"; }else{ //missing some magic disappear code }

your conditional is correct, however you dont need to modify the string that goes inside the conditional. Leave it as what it was in the beginning. 

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

}

All it says and that you need to make sure the paragraph that says "Randys favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!" is only present when your flavor variable = cookie dough as well, you dont actually have to write any code to make it disappear, the conditional takes care of that for you.
