PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Listing Inventory Items More Excitement With Arrays

Listing Inventory Items, Stage 4, task 6/7

I'm trying to understand this question. Any thoughts?

"Inside the foreach loop, we should only display one <li> tag for each flavor. The one list item should display the value for the array element that the foreach loop is considering. Remove one of the <li> elements, and change the value that gets displayed in the other to display the flavor."

<?php

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

?> <p>Welcome to Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. We sell <?php echo count($flavors); ?> flavors of ice cream.</p> <ul> <?php foreach($flavors as $flavor) { ?> <li><?php echo $flavors[0]; ?></li> <li><?php echo $flavors[1]; ?></li> <li><?php echo $flavors[2]; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul>

With the for each loop, you don't have to list each item in the array. So, you just use the variable you set inside the foreach loop ($flavor) for each one of the items in the astray $flavors. So, simply echoing "$flavor" once will echo all of the flavors in $flavors as it runs for each of the items in the array.
