"Now using the $colors array, echo the second value" -- confused.

It seems as though some of my code is canceling out other portions. Not sure what to do! I'm obviously wrong somewhere. The title of this question is in the subject line.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one = (1);
$integer_two = (2); 

$golden = 1.618;

$bool = TRUE;

$colors = array('red',
               'blue',
               'green');


echo $colors array[blue]; 

?>

You need to echo the second element of the array. Since php arrays are 0-based, (first element is 0) You need to

echo $color[1];

I just did this and the quiz says it's wrong??? echo $colors[1]; It's giving me the following error: Bummer! It looks like you are echoing the wrong thing, remember that arrays are 0 based

The quiz isn't working on this question. I even copied and pasted your statement and the system returned the same error.
