I've put in this code and apparently it cant see that ive put in the variable $booleanTwo

?

index.php 
<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$booleanOne = true;
$booleanTwo = var_dump($a === "5");
?>

The message is a bit misleading, it can see the $booleanTwo variable, it just isn't sat to the right value. It doesn't want the result of var_dump stored but the value of $a === "5" on it's own. Like this:

<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$booleanOne = true;
$booleanTwo = $a === "5";
?>

That will store the result of $a === "5" (which is false) into the $booleanTwo variable.

Hi Jamie,

This is the code I used to pass this challenge below:

<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$booleanOne = true;
$booleanTwo = $a === "5";
?>

You just need to remove your var_dump and it should let you pass.

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!
