5,205 PointsStuck on Array Key code challenge #2
I have tried 5 different way to render the code the way the editor wants it and visually it displays right for me but the challenge says I am wrong. Here is my code. What is I am missing?
<?php
$books["978-0743261690"] = "Gilgamesh";
$books["978-0060931957"] = "The Odyssey";
$books["978-0192840509"] = "Aesop's Fables";
$books["978-0520227040"] = "Mahabharta";
$books["978-0393320978"] = "Beowulf";
?><html>
<head>
<title>Five Great Books</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Five Great Books</h1>
<ul>
<?php foreach($books as $isbn => $book) { ?>
<li><?php echo $book . " " . "(" . $isbn . ")"; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

iOS Development Techdegree Student 9,914 PointsHi, can you post the question please?
From what I can see you may need to display it as an array (can help further if you post the question)
$books = array( "978-0743261690" => "Gilgamesh"; "978-0060931957" => "The Odyssey"; "978-0192840509" => "Aesop's Fables"; "978-0520227040" => "Mahabharta"; "978-0393320978" => "Beowulf"; );
If that doesn't work, please post the question so we can get to the bottom of this :)

Sorry - I assumed creating an array was the challenge.
It is asking you to make a space which in html may have been correct, but I think it requires the 'space' using concatenation. If you can see the code below the space is set out as . "" . - the two periods are for the concatenation where as the two double quotes denote a space in the HTML. What you done was perfectly fine as far as I could see but not what the challenge was after.
<?php
$books["978-0743261690"] = "Gilgamesh"; $books["978-0060931957"] = "The Odyssey"; $books["978-0192840509"] = "Aesop's Fables"; $books["978-0520227040"] = "Mahabharta"; $books["978-0393320978"] = "Beowulf";
?><html> <head> <title>Five Great Books</title> </head> <body> <h1>Five Great Books</h1> <ul> <?php foreach($books as $isbn => $book) { ?> <li><?php echo $book . " " . "(" . $isbn . ")"; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul> </body> </html>
Please let me know how you get on.

5,205 PointsOK I did everything but an empty space because in the video he always says to sue "\n" as a space..
Ford Henley
5,205 PointsI tried that, and it still didn't work.

5,205 PointsIt might have been my trailing space before the closing <li> but I got it to work with <?php echo $books; ?> <?php echo "(" . $isbn. ")"; ?>

iOS Development Techdegree Student 9,914 PointsGreat! Makes sense - the "<?php } ?>" was unnecessary.

5,205 PointsHere is the question.
"Next, modify the code inside the foreach loop to display the $isbn in parentheses. After the title, add a space, an opening parenthesis, the ISBN, and a closing parenthesis."
It displays the way the question is asking...It never asked me to make it an array...
