Manipulating an Array 1/1

I don't see what i'm doing wrong can somebody please help me.

The main part of the question is : "The owner of the ice cream shop would like this order changed so that the flavors are displayed in descending order instead, starting with Cookie Dough first and Jalapeno So Spicy last. Leave the $flavors array itself in the same order, but modify something else in this code block to achieve that."

This is my code:

<?php

$flavors = array(
    "Jalapeno So Spicy",
    "Avocado Chocolate",
    "Peppermint",
    "Vanilla",
    "Cake Batter",
    "Cookie Dough"
);

$flavors_r = array_reverse($flavors);
echo $flavors_r;

?>

I don't see why it's not working

If I do a var_dump($flavors_r) it shows it in the right order but with a bunch of extra stuff.

Hi Michael, Please check this code and see if it works.

<html> <body> <?php

$flavors = array( "Jalapeno So Spicy", "Avocado Chocolate", "Peppermint", "Vanilla", "Cake Batter", "Cookie Dough" );

$flavors_reverse = array_reverse($flavors);

?> <ul> <?php

$list_html = "";
foreach($flavors_reverse as $flavor) {
    $list_html = $list_html . "<li>";
    $list_html = $list_html . $flavor;
    $list_html = $list_html . "</li>";
}
echo $list_html;

?> </ul> </body> </html>
