PHP foreach() loop.

I am currently practicing my PHP skills and I came across this bug. I have no clue what I am doing wrong with foreach(){} loop. The first value in foreach() loop is the name of the variable right? The second statement is the counter right?

<?php 
   $friends = array('Joe','Solo','Chris','David','John');
   foreach($friends as counter) {
     echo $counter;
   }
   ?>

I am getting this error each time I run this on my local server. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '(' in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP\index.php on line 11. Thanks in advance

Hello.. You forget '$' before counter var

like this: foreach($friends as $counter) { echo $counter; }
