Listing Inventory Items Code Challenge pt 5

Q: Right now, the unordered list does not show the flavors from our array. In the next few tasks, we'll change that. This task has two steps. (1) Add the start of a foreach loop with an opening curly brace after the opening <ul> tag but before the first opening <li> tag. The foreach loop should load each element from the flavors array, one at a time, into another variable named flavor. (2) Add the closing curly brace for the foreach loop after the final closing </li> but before the closing </ul>.

A: ''' <?php

$flavors=array("Chocolate","Vanilla","Rocky Road");

?> <p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo count($flavors); ?> flavors of ice cream.</p> <ul> <?php foreach ($flavors as $flavor) { <li><?php echo $flavors[0]; ?></li> <li><?php echo $flavors[1]; ?></li> <li><?php echo $flavors[2]; ?></li> } ?> </ul> '''

I am not sure what I am doing wrong?

$flavors = array();

<?php foreach($flavors as $flavor) {
echo $flavor;
}
?>

It's not $flavors but $flavor. As it loops the $flavors array turns into a $flavor variable. You echo out the variable as it goes through the loop.

<?php

$flavors = array("Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Rocky Road");

foreach($flavors as $flavor) {
    echo $flavor . " ";
}
?>

Just copy and paste. It works.
