Hello,
I'm curious on why this:
echo '<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">';
works, while this:
echo '<img src=" . $product['img'] . " alt=" . $product['name'] . ">';
does not. Everything is paired up nicely on the code that does not work. Why do we need the extra single quotes on the code that works?

// output: <img scr="url/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text">
echo '<img src=" . $product['img'] . " alt=" . $product['name'] . ">';
// output: <img scr=url/to/img.jpg alt=alt text>
The challenge isn't passing with the second one because it is generating improper html. HTML attributes values have to be surrounded by quotes.

21,486 PointsYou need the closing single quote on the first part of your string *'<img src=" *, The ending doublequote charaacter does not close it.
