I need help with this question

I need help with question, according to everything we have covered so far this should be how the code for this question should be written right? Did I miss something? The question is asking me to change it so that the paragraph will state how many flavors of ice cream the shop has and according to my notes this is how it should be written but it keeps coming back wrong, please help.

flavors.php 
<?php

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


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

echo and count are built in functions of PHP, so you don't need to concatenate them. I think if you just simply remove the period between the two, it should give you the results you want.
