Not getting this exercise? Can anyone lend a hand?

<?php

//  {
//    "name":"Username",
//    "profile_name":"profile_username",
//    "profile_url":"http://myapi.net/profile_username"
//  }

<?php echo $my_plugin_profile->{'user'}; ?>

I'm not sure but the first thing I notice is you have two <?php ?> pairs. I would remove the ones inline with echo $my_plugin_profile->{'user'}; and try again.

Thanks Alexander, that led me to the answer. I took out the "pair" and then changed 'user' to 'name'.
