I cain't see what I'm doing wrong here...
$letters = array("D", "G", "L", "R");
echo "My favorite ";
echo "3";
echo " letters are these: ";
foreach($letters as $letter){
echo $letter;
}
echo ".";
?>

<?php
echo count($letters);
?>
Overall, the statement looks pretty good, though, you MAY be missing an opening php tag according to your code you pasted. The full statement can look like this:
<?php
$letters = array("D", "G", "L", "R");
echo "My favorite ";
echo count($letters);
echo " letters are these: ";
foreach($letters as $letter){
echo $letter;
}
echo ".";
?>
Hope that helps!

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Tristan,
Your only problem is that you have hard-coded the number of letters: echo "3";
One of the tasks wanted you to take that out and instead replace it with a count of the array items. echo count($letters);
This way it would be dynamic and you could add however many letters you wanted.
