I am working on: PHP Arrays part 3
https://www.codecademy.com/courses/web-beginner-en-8a35h/0/3?curriculum_id=5124ef4c78d510dd89003eb8#
The exact instructions i have are:
“Create an array called $friends and put the names of three of your friends in it. Since each friend’s name is a string, make sure to write it between quotes.”
<In what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>
Code does compile correctly, but the editor won’t accept my solution. The error message it states is: “Oops, try again. Did you remember to put at least three elements in your array? Make sure each one is a string in quotes!”
I see 3 strings here clearly, and they are all wrapped in quotes so I don’t know what the issue is (unless PHP has some strange regex feature that i’ve ran into). I’m guessing there is a subtlety i’m missing.
``` My First Array<?php $friends = array("Matt Lee", "Mary Mercanti", "Travis Vanderstad"); ?>
<do not remove the three backticks above>
After some additional debugging I've concluded their grader has a flaw. Since the following DOES pass:
<?php $friends = array("do", "re", "mi"); ?>
It seems as soon as I introduce a space and another character the test case fails. Such as
<?php $friends = array("do a", "re", "mi"); ?>
