Chalenge = Manipulating an Array ????

Manipulating an Array Chalenge

This block of code creates an array of ice cream flavors and displays them in ascending order. The owner of the ice cream shop would like this order changed so that the flavors are displayed in descending order instead, starting with Cookie Dough first and Jalapeno So Spicy last. Leave the $flavors array itself in the same order, but modify something else in this code block to achieve that.

<html>
<body>
<?php

$flavors = array(
        "Jalapeno So Spicy",
        "Avocado Chocolate",
        "Peppermint",
        "Vanilla",
        "Cake Batter",
        "Cookie Dough"
    );
?>
<ul>
<?php

    $list_html = "";
    foreach($flavors as $flavor) {
        $list_html = $list_html . "<li>";
        $list_html = $list_html . $flavor;
        $list_html = $list_html . "</li>";
    }
    echo $list_html;

?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

I really don't know where to put array_reverse()

Tried to change:

$list_html = "";    to    $list_html = array_reverse($flavors);

But it doesn't work!

Help! :)

Use a different variable name for the output of the array_reverse() function, don't use $list_html. Maybe call the new array $reverse_flavors. Also make sure to call the array_reverse() function before the foreach loop.

still not working

<?php

    $list_html = "";
    $reverse_flavors = array_reverse($flavors);
    foreach($flavors as $flavor) {
        $list_html = $list_html . "<li>";
        $list_html = $list_html . $flavor;
        $list_html = $list_html . "</li>";
    }
    echo $list_html;

?>

What did i do wrong? :(

Sorry, in the foreach loop change $flavors to $reverse_flavors.

This worked for me

<html> <body> <?php

$flavors = array( "Jalapeno So Spicy", "Avocado Chocolate", "Peppermint", "Vanilla", "Cake Batter", "Cookie Dough" );

?> <ul> <?php

$list_html = "";
$reverse_flavors = array_reverse($flavors);
foreach($reverse_flavors as $flavor) {
    $list_html = $list_html . "<li>";
    $list_html = $list_html . $flavor;
    $list_html = $list_html . "</li>";
}
echo $list_html;

?> </ul> </body> </html>
