Hi, in your foreach your are missing a semicolon and you do not need one at the end of your } .

<?php

$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');

foreach($names as $name) { echo "$name "; }

?>

The problem is the misplacing ; in the code.

<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');

foreach($names as $name) {
  echo $name;
}
?>
