More Excitement With Arrays 7/7 issue

Hey everyone,

I seem to have hit a roadblock during some of Randy's php code challenges.

<?php

    $flavors = array("Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Strawberry", "Cookie Dough");


?>
<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 $flavor; ?> <?php } ?></li>
</ul>

More Excitement With Arrays 7/7

This one should have been the easiest in my opinion, add another flavor and everything updates.

So I add Randy's favorite flavor, Cookie Dough and this is my preview output.

Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell 4 flavors of ice cream.

Chocolate
Vanilla
Strawberry
Cookie Dough

However I cannot seem to get this right....

Bummer! The unordered list should have exactly four items in it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kris

Your closing </li> bracket needs to go inside of the last curly bracket closing the foreach loop.

Also, here's another way to format the code which might be less messy:

<?php
    $flavors = array('Chocolate', 'Vanilla', 'Cheesecake', 'Cookie Dough');
?>

<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)
        {
            echo "<li> $flavor </li>";
        }
    ?>
</ul>

I forgot that you had to add "count($flavors)" to it myself.
