Right now, this block of code displays all five ice cream flavors that this store carries. Modify it to display only the flavors that are in stock.

<pre><?php

$flavors = array(); $flavors[] = array("name" => "Cookie Dough", "in_stock" => true); $flavors[] = array("name" => "Vanilla", "in_stock" => false); $flavors[] = array("name" => "Avocado Chocolate", "in_stock" => false); $flavors[] = array("name" => "Bacon Me Crazy", "in_stock" => true); $flavors[] = array("name" => "Strawberry", "in_stock" => false);

foreach($flavors as $flavor) { if($flavors["in_stock"] == true){ echo $flavor["name"] . "\n"; }

}

?></pre>

didn't work :(

<?php
$flavors = array(); 

$flavors[] = array("name" => "Cookie Dough", "in_stock" => true); 
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Vanilla", "in_stock" => false); 
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Avocado Chocolate", "in_stock" => false); 
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Bacon Me Crazy", "in_stock" => true); 
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Strawberry", "in_stock" => false);

foreach($flavors as $flavor) { if($flavor["in_stock"] == true){ echo $flavor["name"] . "\n"; }
}
?>

your if than statement was using plural "flavors" when should be "flavor" because we are taking all "flavors" and making it a working variable "flavor"

I got my answer this way. Did I get luck or is this the correct way?

<?php

$flavors = array();
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Cookie Dough",      "in_stock" => true);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Vanilla",           "in_stock" => false);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Avocado Chocolate", "in_stock" => false);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Bacon Me Crazy",    "in_stock" => true);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Strawberry",        "in_stock" => false);

//add your code below this line

foreach ($flavors as $key => $value) {
  if ($value["in_stock"] == true){
  echo $value["name"]. '<br/>';}
}

?>
