I have watched the videos over and over and cannot for the life of me figure out how to load the key into a variable.

1,493 PointsI figured it out. I realised I need to load the key into the variable using the following syntax:
<?php foreach($books as $isbn => $book) { ?>

17,225 PointsWas there a video that helped you "get" this. I was struggling to understand it. I always try resist just putting in an answer from the forum, but I was really getting no where. Any links would be appreciated.
