my output for the exercise functions correctly but I still have \n\n\n\n\n\n\ echoing in the middle

0 = Laundry 1 = Dishes 2 = Dust 3 = Vacuum 4 = Make Dinner 5 = Clean Out Fridge \n\n\n\n\n\n Title Priority Due Date Complete Laundry 2 06/09/2016 No Dishes 2 No Dust 3 No Vacuum 1 06/09/2016 No Make Dinner 1 No Clean Out Fridge 2 07/30/2016 Yes

from

<?php

include 'list.php';

foreach ($list as $key => $item) { echo $key . ' = ' . $item['title'] . "<br />\n"; } echo '<table>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<th>Title</th>'; echo '<th>Priority</th>'; echo '<th>Due Date</th>'; echo '<th>Complete</th>'; echo '</tr>';

foreach ($list as $item) { echo '<tr>'; echo '<td>' . $item['title'] . "</td>\n"; echo '<td>' . $item['priority'] . "</td>\n"; echo '<td>' . $item['due'] . "</td>\n"; echo '<td>'; if ($item['complete']) { echo 'Yes'; } else { echo 'No'; } echo '</td>\n'; echo '<tr>'; }

//var_dump($list);

//echo $list[0]['title']; ?>

Hi Eric,

What specifically is your question? As it is a bit hard to figure out what it is your are asking in this. Please also review the Markdown Cheatsheet for adding code. It helps the readability and others to answer you easier and quicker.

So, my question is, why am I getting bunch of \n;s in my output? when I bring up the browser from workspaces, I get a bunch of them. I think I have the code matching the teacher exactly, but the html is pumping out \n's and I don't understand why or how to get rid of them

HERE IS THE OUTPUT

```0 = Laundry 1 = Dishes 2 = Dust 3 = Vacuum 4 = Make Dinner 5 = Clean Out Fridge \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Title Priority Due Date Complete Laundry 2 06/09/2016 No Dishes 2 No Dust 3 No Vacuum 1 06/09/2016 No Make Dinner 1 No Clean Out Fridge 2 07/30/2016 Yes

HERE IS THE CODE

<?php

include 'list.php';

foreach ($list as $key => $item) { echo $key . ' = ' . $item['title'] . "<br />\n"; }

echo '<table>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<th>Title</th>'; echo '<th>Priority</th>'; echo '<th>Due Date</th>'; echo '<th>Complete</th>'; echo '</tr>';

foreach ($list as $item) { echo '<tr>'; echo '<td>' . $item['title'] . '</td>\n'; echo '<td>' . $item['priority'] . '</td>\n'; echo '<td>' . $item['due'] . '</td>\n'; echo '<td>'; if ($item['complete']) { echo 'Yes'; } else { echo 'No'; } echo '</td>\n'; echo '<tr>'; }

//var_dump($list);

//echo $list[0]['title']; ?>

Hi Eric,

You were close using the ``` in a row. You need to do ```php (three in a row) then hit enter then <?php press enter again and paste your code for it to format correctly.

Looking at your code you are close. As you have

<?php 
foreach ($list as $key => $item) { 
    echo $key . ' = ' . $item['title'] . "<br />\n"; 
}

echo '<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<th>Title</th>';
echo '<th>Priority</th>';
echo '<th>Due Date</th>';
echo '<th>Complete</th>';
echo '</tr>';

foreach ($list as $item) { 
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $item['title'] . '</td>\n';
    echo '<td>' . $item['priority'] . '</td>\n';
    echo '<td>' . $item['due'] . '</td>\n';
    echo '<td>';
    if ($item['complete']) { 
        echo 'Yes'; 
    } else { 
        echo 'No'; 
    } 
    echo '</td>\n'; 
    echo '<tr>'; 
}

And it needs to be 

<?php
"</td>\n"

You need to use a double quote vs a single. Otherwise it prints the \n directly to the screen vs interpreting it as an escaped character.
