add associative array $favourite colors

Can someone please lead me through this question? starting an associative array $favourite_colors will make an error saying $colors is not right.......

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
  $integer_one = 1;
  $integer_two = 2;
  $golden = 1.618;

  $bool = TRUE;

  $colors = array ('red', 'blue', 'green');

  echo $colors[1];

  $favourite_colors = array ('green', 'blue', 'yellow');

  $favourite_colors = array (
    'mike'=> 'green',
    'jane'=>'blue',
    'chris'=>'yellow'

    );

Hi azumi yuan,

Please see the below.

  1. Your first $favourite_colors array isn't needed as associative array's always contain key, value pairs
  2. You have spelled the variable name incorrectly, the challenge expects the US version of favourite which is favorite 
<?php

$favorite_colors = array(
  'mike' => 'green',
  'jane' => 'blue',
  'chris' => 'yellow'
);

Happy coding!
