$colors array second value [1] is coming up wrong.

Hi Sherry,

I'm not sure why the compiler is returning an error on your code. I can't speak of the code you didn't post, but the line you have is correct and will return the second value.

I ran through the challenge just now, and that is exactly what I put and it passed. Sometimes a glitch shows up and you need to refresh (restart) the challenge from the beginning to clear the 'mystery error'.

Here is the code up to and including Task 6

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = true;

$colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green'];

echo $colors[1];

?>

Keep Coding! :)

I'll try to refresh.. I've gone out of the challenge and worked on other tasks, just went back into it and still receiving the same return. I can't finish the tasks until this passes through :(

Thank you so much!

Hi Jason,

Here's the code I put in this time - same as every other :( (it all comes out very well until I get to #6.)

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = TRUE;
 var_dump ($bool);

$colors = array ();
$colors = array ('red', 'blue', 'green');
 echo $colors [1];

?>

Hi Sherry,

Sorry you're still having problems, but I do see a couple problems with your code.

1) The challenge didn't ask for var_dump ($bool). It's not that it's incorrect, but most times the challenges are very picky and will throw a Bummer! if you add what wasn't asked for.

2) Task 4 wants you to add an empty array named $colors. While I used square brackets to create my array, you can do it the way you have (with parenthesis), except you need to remove the space you have between array and the () $array = array();

If you remove that space on both lines, you will pass. Although, the second declaration you have for $colors (where you added the colors asked for) is not needed. You can just add the colors into the first one you declared. $colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');.

I hope this helps. :)

Thank you so much, I'll work through the process again. Also "var_dump ($bool) was added because simply coding is as $bool = TRUE; did not run through the code so I researched it and found that the var_dump worked.

Thanks for the heads up on spacing ;) I also tried the $colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green'); on the same line as the previous statement and the system didn't like it.... Oh boy.. fun stuff here. Thanks again for your help.

HA! It passed through this time :) I also took out the var_dump and tightened up the spaces :) Thank You Jason!
