Am I missing something? I feel as though I've written the correct code but am being told otherwise.

Hello,

The quiz question is:

“Time to add an associative array named $favorite_colors. The keys will be, in order, the following: ‘mike’, ‘jane’, & ‘chris’ with values for each. Those values are ‘green’, ‘blue’, & ‘yellow’

I wrote:

$favorite_colors = array( "mike" => "green", "jane" => "blue", "chris" => "yellow", );

However it’s saying it’s incorrect. When I print this array in my workspaces it is showing properly. What am I missing?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = TRUE;

$colors = array(
  'red',
  'blue',
  'green',
);

echo $colors[1]

$favorite_colors = array(
   "mike" => "green",
   "jane" => "blue",
   "chris" => "yellow",
  );

?>

You forgot a semicolon when you echoed out $colors[1].
