Task 2 makes task 1 stop working, even though it should be fine

Ask a Question Challenge Task 2 of 2

The code is now displaying the right message. Thanks! Let’s change both variables to words that do start with R to make sure the code still displays the right message: change $var1 to Rocky Road and $var2 to Raspberry. <?php

$var1 = "Rockey Road";
$var2 = "Raspberry";
$initial = "R";

if (stripos($var1,$initial) === 0 && stripos($var2,$initial) === 0) {

    echo $var1 . " and " . $var2 . " both start with " . $initial . ".";

} else {

    echo "Either " . $var1 . " or " . $var2 . " doesn't start with " . $initial . "; maybe neither of them do.";

}

?>

Task 1 was corrected by changing the ==1 to ==0, but now when I enter the values for task 2 it stops working. I ran the code on my browser and they both outputted the correct values, but It keeps saying task 1 doesn't work anymore even though I've changed nothing. I Cant figure out whats wrong

If you change Rockey to Rocky it should work.
