Is answer related to the format ? I think my answer is right but not passed

Hi, I was asked to write a code that only display something when the array has elements in it. So I write this : <?php if (!empty($recommendations) { foreach($recommendations as $flavor) { echo '<li>'. $flavor. '</li>'; } } ?> But I never get it passed, could you please tell me why?

The treehouse use <?php ?> tags on every line, I modify it , use only One <?php ?> tag include all the code.

Hi Xinrui,

If you put your html inside of php tags then you have to echo the html in quotes. The code below should pass the question.

Jeff

<?php
    if (!empty($reccommendations)) {    ?>

        <ul>
            <?php foreach($recommendations as $flavor) { ?>
                <li><?php echo $flavor; ?></li>
            <?php } ?>
        </ul>
    <?php } ?>
