Courses Plus Student 278 PointsHey Tom Cawthorn I've shared the code. Please help me find the problem as early as possible. Thanks.

<li><?php echo $product; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
In this bit of code, $product is an array - and you can't echo an array.
$product looks like:
<?php
array(
"name" => "Logo Shirt, Orange",
"img" => "img/shirts/shirt-108.jpg",
"price" => 25
)
So try
<?php
<li><?php echo $product['name'] ?></li>

Courses Plus Student 278 Pointsbut in the video tutorial the instructor didn't do such thing. He just wrote $product and the thing was working for him.

Courses Plus Student 278 PointsAnd the goal is to echo out each and every element of the multi-dimensional array. you can check this video - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-php-application/listing-inventory-items/nesting-arrays-within-arrays
