Courses Plus Student 9,519 PointsStuck on PHP Basics question....
Time to add an associative array named $favorite_colors. The keys will be, in order, the following: 'mike', 'jane', & 'chris' with values for each. Those values are 'green', 'blue', & 'yellow'
How do i do this?

if you give up, here's the answer:
<?php
$favorite_colors = array (
'mike' => 'green',
'jane' => 'blue',
'chris' => 'yellow'
)
You can then call each element of the array by their key
<?php
$mike_fav_col = $favorite_colors['mike']; // == 'green'

<?php
$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = true;
$colors = array('red','blue','green');
echo $colors[1];
$favorite_colors = array (
'mike' => 'green',
'jane' => 'blue',
'chris' => 'yellow'
);
?>

or repeat this format for each key-value pair:
$favorite_colors['mike']="green";
$favorite_colors['jane']="blue";

22,986 PointsThis has worked for me. It sounds like one of your other tests might be failing. Make sure everything has a semi-colon.
I've updated above with the full challenge code.
