You forgot to close the $favorite_colors array with a ; (semicolon). If you add a semicolon on the end of the parenthesis then your code will pass.

Hi Evgenijs,

The code itself is fine, you only forgot to add a semicolon somewhere. :) 

<?php
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
echo $colors[1];

$favorite_colors = array (
  'mike' => 'green',
  'jane' => 'blue',
  'chris' => 'red'
);  // this is where you forgot your semicolon 

echo $favorite_colors["mike"];
?>

Happy coding! :)

Edit: Oops, had this page open for a bit - did not see Andren had already answered your question. :P

Don't worry, It's pretty common for situations like this to occur, I've done the same quite a few times as well :smile:. Since formulating an answer can take a bit of time it's not a rare occurrence for multiple people to post answers somewhat around the same time.
