Don't understand the second part of the question. Can anyone explain what they are asking for?

Check if each student has a GPA of 4.0.

If the student has a GPA of 4.0, use the student name variable to replace NAME when displaying the following line:

NAME made the Honor Roll

ELSE If the students GPA is not equal to 4.0, within an else block, use the student name variable to replace NAME AND the student GPA variable to replace STUDENT GPA when displaying the following line:

NAME has a GPA of STUDENT GPA

index.php 
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

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

//Place your code below this comment
if($studentOneGPA == 4.0)
{
  echo $studentOneName.' made the Honor Roll';
}
if($studentTwoGPA == 4.0)
{
  echo $studentTwoName.' made the Honor Roll';
}
else
{
  echo $studentOneName.' has a GPA of '.$studentOneGPA."\n";
  echo $studentTwoName.' has a GPA of '.$studentTwoGPA;
}
?>

Try making the $studentOneName. else statement under its own IF

and not have it clustered together at the end.
