Comparisons seem not to work

Hey, i don’t understand what’s wrong with that code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Comparing Numbers</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      <?php
        9 == 9;
      ?>
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

I’ve tried many others but it always says “invalid comparison”, is it just a bug from the system ? i4ve tried with many others like 2 == 2;, 458 != 545; and all, but it never works. Does somebody have an answer ?

Thank you for telling us! They need to get the wording of the lesson fixed, then, geez.

why does your example work in the editor but if I wrote

this isn’t the first time I’ve noticed poor wording on this, but it isn’t just poor wording, they should have checked for maybe echo 5==5; or something different instead.

mine was:

  <?php
    3 < 5;
  ?>

It worked only after I removed the semi-colon

same here and that’s really strange. especially after a lesson on the semicolon!

Same problem here. It looks like you didn’t type a valid comparison.

it doesn’t work if you put a semicolon at the end of the comparison, like

I’m not using a semicolon and it’s still giving me this error.

It’s still buggy and or not worded correctly.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of your option. But, below code worked for me. 

    if (6<7)
    {
    echo true;
    }

Yeah that same code worked for Me too!

no instruction to echo; no instruction to use “if” either

David Hutchison over 10 years

Next section is named “ Your first if”, which would seem to imply no “if” should be necessary for this exercise, which makes even weirder that excluding the semi-colon is he only way to get it to work,especially after a lesson on semi-colons.

Awful instructions :( I had to read the Q&A to figure out what they were asking :(
