Code challenge tells me i got the multiplication wrong

I can't figure out why the multiplication is wrong. Maybe the code is incorrect no idea where.

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne);
?>
index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne);
?>

Hi there! You're doing fine, but the problem is in the results that you're displaying. You're using var_dump which gives all information regarding that variable instead of just the value. Try using a echo statement.

I believe you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
