They often don't take into account both ways.. So try to give it the literal string values for the array using double quotes.
$favorite_colors = array("mike" => "green", "jane" => "blue", "chris" => "yellow" );
I passed this question up a while ago, can't recall exactly how I did it to pass it. But pretty sure it was double quotes, as for the last 10 years of doing PHP it's how I've always made an associative array.
