On PHP Basic challenge number 7, the code: eco $colors[1] is not being accepted, l can not progress

The question wants me to echo the second value in an array of three color values

Not sure why it isn't working for you, I've done the same thing as you and got to pass. Maybe try copying and pasting this code and see if anything happens:

<?php

$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = true;
$colors = ['red','blue','green'];

echo $colors[1];

?>

thanks, l think l had added a (var_dump ) and that may have been the cause for failure to read.

It's seem you write eco instead of echo :)

I was in the same boat and could not progress using "echo $colors[1];". I deleted the var_dump and it passed just fine.
