I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I'm very new to PHP. Greatly appreciate any help.

I have tried using var_dump and got an error message to use echo instead.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
var_dump($integerOne);
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;
var_dump($integerTwo);
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne * $floatOne;
echo "floatOne =";
echo $floatOne;





?>

Try 

echo $integerOne * $floatOne

the challenge does not need var_dump or multiple echo statements

I was overthinking it and getting the code all mixed up. Thank you so much Amber!!
