Separating Concerns MVC 4/4

Question

Hi guys and girls,

I am struggling with a challenge. I think that there is a lot to copy but here is the basic information and the link to the challenge.

Since the flavors are now ordered by the number of likes, it would be nice to display the number of likes next to each flavor. Instead of showing just the flavor name ("Cookie Dough"), change it to show the flavor name, followed by a space, followed by a plus sign, followed by the number of likes ("Cookie Dough +976"). (Look through flavors.php to see the structure of the flavors array and to figure out how to access the number of likes.)

<?php

// INCLUDE MODEL FILE
require_once("flavors.php");



// CONTROLLER CODE
$flavors = get_flavors_by_likes(3);

foreach ($flavors as $flavor) {
  echo "<li>" $flavor["name"] . "+" . $number
}


// VIEW CODE
?><html>
<body>

    <h1>Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe</h1>

    <p>We sell amazing flavors of ice cream.</p>

    <h2>Most Popular Flavors</h2>

    <ul>
    <?php
        foreach ($flavors as $flavor) {
           // echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " " . "+" . $flavor["likes"] . "</li>";
          echo "<li>" . $flavor["name"] . " +" . $flavor["likes"] . "</li>";
        }

    ?>
    </ul>

</body>
</html>

The commented out section and the line below are the codes that I have tried but don't work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nthulane,

I think that either one of your statements should work although the second one is probably preferred.

You're trying to echo out some list items in your controller code section which isn't part of the challenge. I think this is throwing it off. Remove that code and you should pass.
