index.php 
<?php

$books["978-0743261690"] = "Gilgamesh";
$books["978-0060931957"] = "The Odyssey";
$books["978-0192840509"] = "Aesop's Fables";
$books["978-0520227040"] = "Mahabharta";

foreach loop works like this.

<?php
$array[$key] = $value;
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {

}
?>

In this code challenge, $key is the isbn and $value is the book title.

<?php foreach($books as $isbn => $book) { ?>

Hope this helps:)
