Stuck on array_keys code challenge in Build a Basic PHP Website module.

I can't seem to get the syntax right to assign the array key from the $books array to a variable named $isbn.

index.php 
<?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>
    $isbn = array_keys($books);
    <ul>
        <?php foreach($books as $book => $isbn) { ?>
            <li><?php echo $book; ?></li>
        <?php } ?>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>

Andrew,

change the foreach loop from

<?php foreach($books as $book => $isbn) { ?>

to

<?php foreach($books as $isbn => $book) { ?>

Thanks. I had it backwards.
