Error when printing second value of $colors array.

I'm asked to echo the second value of $colors array (blue), but I get an Bummer error. Tested it on my own and it works fine. I even tried changing the number just to see, but no luck. Maybe I'm not understanding the question properly.

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one =1;
$integer_two=2;
$golden=1.618;
$bool=TRUE;
var_dump($bool);
$colors = array('red','blue','green');
echo $colors[1];
?>

Hi Samantha,

You have more code than what you need for task 6, the challenge never asks you to place a var_dump statement in between $bool and $colors which is why it's giving you a bummer error. Simply remove it and the challenge will pass.

<?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];

?>

Happy coding!

Chris. you. are. awesome! That worked, I guess I misunderstood what the $bool question was asking me for, and the script they're using to check for the right answer for that question isn't checking for extra unnecessary code.
