PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Listing Inventory Items Introducing Arrays

i cant solve this

he code block below displays a list of two letters from the Latin alphabet using echo statements. But these two letters are NOT my favorite letters! In this code challenge, we’ll change this block of code to display my real favorite letters. We’ll also modify it to use an array so that it’s easier to add a new letter in the future. Before the first echo statement, create an array called letters. Give that letters array one element with a value of “D”.

<?php

echo "My favorite "; echo "2"; echo " letters are these: "; echo "AB"; echo ".";

?>

letters.php
<?php

$letters=array("D","G","L");

echo "My favorite "; 
echo count($letters); 
echo " letters are these: "; 


foreach($letters as $letter) {

?>
echo "AB"; } 
echo "."; 
?>

Hi moath, this step of the code challenge asks you to contain echo "AB"; within a foreach loop. You have the code correct however you are closing it of with "?>" before the foreach loop has finished, which means any php after that closing tag will not execute until you open it up again with "<?php". To solve this, simply remove the "?>" and it should work, like so:

<?php 

foreach($letters as $letter) {
     echo "AB";
 } 
echo "."; 

?>

hope this helps!!
