Arrays challenge task 4 of 7

In this step they are asking to change something in html paragraph , so I change 2 for $flavors

<?php

    $flavors = array("Chocolate","Vanilla","Pistaccio");

?>
<p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo ($flavors); ?> flavors of ice cream.</p>
<ul>
    <li><?php echo $flavor1; ?></li>
    <li><?php echo $flavor2; ?></li>
</ul>

Can't understand what else ?

Hi, $flavors is an array so if you want to echo the number of values of this array you must use count fonction like this: echo count($flavors);

I'm not sure the stage you're stuck on.

I've gone through this challenge just now, following all of the steps and it seems to work.

For changing the count I simply used <?php echo count($flavors); ?>

Then to foreach through them all, I did the following:

<?php

$flavors = array("Chocolate", "Vanilla", "Pistaccio", "Cookie Dough");

?>
<p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo count($flavors); ?> flavors of ice cream.</p>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach($flavors as $flavor) { ?>
        <li><?php echo $flavor; ?></li>
    <?php } ?>
</ul>

I hope this helps!

oh jamie you're first for a few seconds !!
