7,127 PointsApparently, my code is not displaying " +" correctly??
The quiz keeps returning "Bummer!" and not letting me go forward... but I am confident that my code is correct, because I took this over to Sublime and previewed it in my browser, and it looks exactly how the question asks for it.
Help!!!! Ahhh!!!
<?php

require_once("flavors.php");

29,679 PointsAfter $flavor["likes"] you have a ; instead of a .
<?php
foreach ($flavors as $flavor) {
// echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " +" . $flavor["likes"] ; "</li>"; change this to
echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " +" . $flavor["likes"] . "</li>";
}
?>

11,090 PointsExactly what Colin said. Your code should look like this:
<?php
foreach ($flavors as $flavor) {
// echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " +" . $flavor["likes"] . "</li>"; change this to
echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " +" . $flavor["likes"] . "</li>";
}
?>
