I do not understand what is wrong with my code here. Do I have a syntax issue?

N/A

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden      = 1.618;
$bool        = true;
$colors      = array('red','blue','green');
$favorite_colors = array('mike' = > 'green', 
                         'jane' => 'blue', 
                         'chris' => 'yellow' )

echo $colors[1];
?>

Hey Brandon,

The only error you have is a space in your first association operator. It is currently "= >" and should be "=>". And after that it works! Bam! :D
