Your code looks okay to me, but I think the following lines are not part of the challenge:
<?php
$size = ["length"=>12, "width"=>14]; // remove this?
echo (Render::displayDimensions($size)); // and this?
?>

8,768 PointsHi Joseph! I tried with or without that lines you refer to. And other variations of code that works as well. But always getting the same mistake!
Joseph Kato
35,340 PointsHmm, interesting.
When I try the challenge with the code in your original post, I get the following error: "Bummer! syntax error, unexpected '$size' (T_VARIABLE), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in index.php on line 10." Is this what you're experiencing?
Once I remove the two lines I mentioned above, I'm able to pass the challenge.

8,768 PointsJoseph I've got this message : Bummer! You must return the dimensions using the $size parameter.
The same thing without that last lines of code... Did you pass the challenge with the same code I have?
Joseph Kato
35,340 PointsOh, sorry -- I think I misunderstood.
I'm able to pass Task 1 (of 4) with the code in your original post (minus the aforementioned two lines), but it appears that you're actually working on Task 2? If this is indeed the case, I think the issue is that you're using strings to index $size when you want to use integers instead (since we're working with a regular array, not an associative array). See below:
<?php
class Render {
public static function displayDimensions($size) {
// Note the use of 0 and 1 instead of "length" and "width".
$output = $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
return $output;
}
}
?>

8,768 PointsYou are right Joseph! It's not an associative array. I changed that indexes like in your code and it works now! Mate thank you a lot for your help!)
