This was the Questions:

There are a few errors with you code:

  1. You needed to build conditional statements for both students.
  2. In your conditional statements you surrounded the variables in quotes, only the string text goes in the quotes. If you surround a variable in quotes it gets parsed into plain text.
  3. You needed to output the variables data with the text strings via concatenation with a period between them.
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment

if ($studentOneGPA === 4.0) {
  echo $studentOneName . " made the Honor Roll";
}
else {
  echo $studentOneName . " has a GPA of " . $studentOneGPA;
}

if ($studentTwoGPA === 4.0) {
  echo $studentTwoName . " made the Honor Roll";
}
else {
  echo $studentTwoName . " has a GPA of " . $studentTwoGPA;
}

?>
