PHP PHP Basics (Retired) PHP Conditionals & Loops PHP Loops Challenge

There appears to be a bug in the challenge checker for php-loops-challenge in task 1.

Keeps telling me that I am looking in the wrong array and I am looking in the correct array.

index.php
<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');
foreach ( $names as $name ) {
  echo '<ul>' . $name . '</ul>';
}
?>

Well, maybe not a bug, but it sure seems like one. The challenge editor doesn't like the spaces. Try this:

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

Hey Jason,

It seems to be White Space issue. I've searched the documentation and didn't find anything to say that what you have is incorrect. (If anyone has docs that show otherwise, please leave the link in a comment).

If you delete the White Space before and after your parenthesis, it will pass.

Task 1 Code:

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

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

Task 2 code -- note it didn't ask for any tags. It just wants you to echo the names.

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

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

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
