Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsPHP: variables and conditonals
This is a PHP Variables and Conditonals challenge I am having a difficult time getting right. I have already assigned a variable, but keep getting the following task incorrect.
Here are the directions (NOTE: not allowed to change HTML):
Modify the command that displays the flavor of ice cream. Instead of it displaying a static piece of text, change it to display the value stored in the 'flavor' variable.
Here's the challenge code:
<?php
$flavor = "strawberry";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo "vanilla";
echo ".</p>";
echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
?>
All those "echos" are confusing. There was nothing like this in the videos to reference.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

echo "vanilla";
To this:
echo $flavor;
If you want your code to display correctly, use markdown. There should be a link to a Markdown Cheatsheet just under the box you use to post a question or answer.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsThe copy/paste is not coming across as in the challenge itself. Above, I tried to tab at appropriate places....here it is without tabs:
<?php $flavor = "strawberry"; echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is "; echo "vanilla"; echo ".</p>"; echo "<p>Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!</p>";
?>
