The variable name would not have mattered. In fact, PHP convention is to name the variable in a foreach loop as the singular of the array name, so you were correct in the naming convention. The error was with the added coded, not the name of the variable.

<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');

foreach ($names as $name) {
  echo $name;
}
?>

Hey Brecht,

Your code is correct, but you added some code that was not asked for by the challenge. In the echo statement, the challenge just wants you to "echo out each name." It didn't ask for any concatenation, so you just need to delete the ." " that you added.

Challenges are very picky and specific.

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

Hi,

your code is ok except one thing, you don't need this code: ." ";

<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');

foreach ( $names as $name ) {
  echo $name;
}
?>

$name can be replaced with anything you want.
