Hi,

you can write your foreach loop inside of one php tag.

And in order to pass the challenge, seems like you forgot to put a semi-colon! Can you guess where?

You are missing a semi colon on this line:

 <?php echo $name?>
//Shoud be 

 <?php echo $name;?>

You can also omit most of your php tags since you aren't mixing any other content like HTML in your code yet

<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');

foreach($names as $name){
  echo $name;
}

?>

Keeping your code cleaner like the code above can help aid in catching errors.
