Build a Simple PHP Application - Inventory Items - Challenge task 5 of 7

I have entered the code in when I preview it comes up with what it is suppose to so i then click check work and then says task 1 is no longer working.

Below is the question in the challenge and under that is my answer.

QUESTION -

Right now, the text shows the wrong letters; we want it to display my real favorite letters from the array. In the next few tasks, we’ll change that. This task has two steps. (1) Add the start of a foreach loop with an opening curly brace between the third and fourth echo commands. The foreach loop should load each element from the letters array, one at a time, into a working variable named letter. (2) Add the closing curly brace for the foreach loop between the fourth and fifth echo commands. (Leave the letters AB in the fourth echo command for now. At the end of this step, the page should say my favorite letters are ABABAB.)

MY ANSWER -

<?php

$letters=array("D","G","L");

echo "My favorite "; echo count($letters); echo " letters are these: "; foreach($letters as $letters) { echo "AB"; } echo "."; ?>

letters.php
<?php

$letters=array("D","G","L");

echo "My favorite "; 
echo count($letters); 
echo " letters are these: "; 
foreach($letters as $letters) {
echo "AB"; } 
echo "."; 
?>

You need to go from plural to singular when using foreach. letters-> calls the array : letter-> single item within the array.

If you didn't understand I hope I have helped; If you did and it was just a typo I'm sorry for the over explanatory answer.

<?php

foreach($letters as $letter) {

?>
