The challenge is "Add three colors to your array: 'red', 'blue', & 'green'. "
Keep getting: Bummer: the color red does not seem to be a value in your array
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I copied the same format used in the associative array video. I thought values came after fat arrows so not sure what is going on.
Any help would be appreciated! Going crazy trying to figure this out
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$colors[] = array(
"red" => $red,
"blue" => $blue,
"green" => $green
);
?>

Treehouse Moderator 38,004 PointsSorry Emilie. after closer look that will not work. You need to just make a simple array not an associative array like they did in the video. You just want to store colors. So something like this:
$colors = array("red", "blue", "green");

Treehouse Moderator 38,004 PointsHi Emilie. The good news is your code is correct. The bad news is the challenge checker seems to have an issue with new lines. Try putting your array all on one line and it should pass.
$colors = array("red" => $red, "blue" => $blue, "green" => $green);
Keep at it Emilie and be sure to post back to the community if you get stuck.
