My answer is right and not being accepted

echo $favorite_colors["mike"];

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$colors = ['red','green','blue'];
// echo $colors[1];
$favorite_colors = [
  'mike'=> 'green',
  'jane'=> 'blue',
  'chris' => 'red'

Hey Nicholas,

Yep, in syntax your answer is correct. However, it seems to be the order of the first array that is throwing the Bummer for the final task. I don't know why it only affects the last task.

The $colors array should be $colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green']; I'm not sure why it didn't "Bummer" when that particular task was being checked. (Challenges are picky, strict, and sometimes just wonky. :smile:)

Also, you will need to uncomment the first echo statement.

Fix those two things up and the code will pass all the Tasks.

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

The challenge did not say to comment out the echo $colors[1]; line. So put that back in and try again. If it still come up as being wrong, change the $colors line to $colors=['red','blue','green']; . That was the order that was requested. It should not be a factor, but I have seen stranger things with these challenges. Hope this helps!
