I am completely stuck on this...

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong...

index.php 
<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size)
    {
     return implode("", $size[0]) . "". "X" . "" .  implode("", $size[1]);
    }
 //return displayDimensions();
}

?>

//Original
return implode("", $size[0]) . "". "X" . "" .  implode("", $size[1]);

// 1. You don't need to use implode
return $size[0] . "". "X" . "" .  $size[1];

//2 You need to put a space in your "" so it will be " "
return $size[0] . " ". "X" . " " .  $size[1];

//3 The "X" needs to be "x"
return $size[0] . " ". "x" . " " .  $size[1];

// Cleaned
return $size[0] . " x " .  $size[1];

Answer:

<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size)
    {
     return $size[0] . " x " .  $size[1];
    }
}

?>

The Error when you preview is:

PHP Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in index.php on line 6 PHP Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in index.php on line 6

php.net manual says: implode ( string $glue , array $pieces ) : string

/*
It is asking for glue and an array
but you are passing it just one item out of your array when you designate [0] or [1]
*/
implode("", $size[0]);

//to implode you would pass it like this
implode("", $size);

/*
But you would get 1214 if the challenge was set up correctly. 
Since it wasn't; you will get 111222.
