Hey Shane,

I've been noticing an issue with the help box. Maybe send an email to help@teamtreehouse.com with a description of the problem.

As for your code, it looks correct, but without seeing the challenge/quiz it's tougher to trouble shoot. If you can't get the "get help" to work, just copy the url from the quiz and paste it here in a comment and I will check it out for you.

Hi! I tried the same code to that question and can't get it right either..

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-basics/php-datatypes/php-datatypes-challenge

The question is: "Create An Empty Array Named $colors.". That should be $colors = array(); ?

Hey Björn Norén

You're close. To create an empty array in PHP, the code checker is looking for:

$colors = [];

Keep Coding! :)
