Code Challenge: preview gives correct output but does not pass

Preview prints out "mikes" favourite colour "green". but when submitting I get an error saying I am printing out the wrong value. However the preview shows the correct output which is green.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$colors = array("red","green","blue");
$favorite_colors = array(
                "mike" => "green",
            "jane" => "blue",
            "chris" => "red"
);

//echo $colors[1] . "\n";
echo $favorite_colors["mike"];
?>

hie ,sometimes these challenges can be a bit tricky.the order of $colors array has to be red, blue, green .also i think its best not to comment out the first echo statement. got the following code to work :

$colors = array("red","blue","green");
echo $colors[1] ;
$favorite_colors = array(
            "mike" => "green",
            "jane" => "blue",
            "chris" => "red"
);

echo $favorite_colors["mike"];
