  Oh, help!
  
  This Fibonacci stuff is messing with my head, and I'm sure it is because I don't really understand this PHP stuff. Even after looking up other people's code examples, I am still at a loss (and it still isn't working!).
  
  Can any kind-hearted person help me out? Or at least point me in the direction of some addition tutorials so that my head stops spinning?
  
  Anything would be appreciated!

  Hmmm. Lots of ways to do this. I'll start you out with one
  
  echo 0;
  echo "
  ";
  
  echo 1;
  echo "
  ";
  
  $x = 0;
  $y = 1;
  
  newnumber = $x + $y;
  
  echo $newnumber;
  echo "
  ";
  
  
  Now... what comes next? What needs to happen?

  Shoot, let's try that again. Diigo doesn't allow HTML :(.
  
  echo 0;
  echo "
  ";
  
  echo 1;
  echo ", ";
  
  $x = 0;
  $y = 1;
  
  
  newnumber = $x + $y;
  
  echo $newnumber;
  echo ", ";
  
  
  Now... what comes next? What needs to happen?

  I feel so silly.
  
  What I was doing the whole time was correct EXCEPT I didn't have "echo" - I had return. Now it's working fine.
  
  Oh, my!
  
  At least I know I wasn't totally wrong, and I get this stuff more than I initially though I did. I just need to pay closer attention to what words I use! Hahaha.
  
  I'll jazz it up before I send it out. Thank you so much, everyone!
  
  ~N~

  Thanks, Nancy!
  
  I am starting the Fibonacci challenge soon, so I may very well reference this thread if I get lost. Hope everything went well for you in the end!
  
  Best,
  
  Monica
