On line 9 you are missing a semicolon causing a parse error. It should look like this:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integer_one = 1; 
  $integer_two= 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = TRUE;
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
echo $colors[1];

$favorite_colors = array(
  'mike' => 'green', 
  'jane' => 'blue' , 
  'chris' => 'yellow'
);

?>

Kathryn,

Your array looks good. I think you're just missing a semi-colon after the previous task (the echo $colors[1] bit).

Hope that helps!

Got it & it works.

Thanks for the help !
