Code Challenge Help: Task 7 of 7 - Build a Simple PHP Application -> Listing Inventory Items -> More Excitement With Arrays

Task: Now let's add another flavor to the ice cream store. Add a fourth element to the array with a value of "Cookie Dough" (my personal favorite). When you preview the code, notice that the count of flavors increases and the new flavor is added to the list automatically.

Code:

<?php $flavors = array("Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Cookies and Cream", "Cookie Dough");?> <p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo count($flavors); ?> flavors of ice cream.</p> <ul> <?php foreach($flavors as $flavor) {?> <li><?php echo $flavor; ?> <?php } ?></li> </ul>

HTML Result: Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell 4 flavors of ice cream.

  • Chocolate
  • Vanilla
  • Cookies and Cream
  • Cookie Dough

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've added Cookie Dough to the array. The count automatically increased and the new flavor showed up as well but I keep getting an error!

Error: Bummer! The unordered list should have exactly four items in it.

Any ideas?

I figured it out My closing brace for the foreach statement should have come after the closing list tag!

<li><?php echo $flavor; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul>

Thanks Matthew. It's always some little detail that's missed after staring at the code for a while, wondering why its wrong, even though it produces the right output! =)

<?php $flavors = array ("Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Caramel", "Cookie Dough"); ?>

<p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo count($flavors); ?>flavors of ice cream.</p> <ul> <li><?php foreach ($flavors as $flavor) { ?> <?php echo $flavor; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul>
