Foreach Looping Nightmare

Seriously why doesn’t this code work? It says task 1 is no longer completed

index.php
<?php

$flavors = array();
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Cookie Dough",      "in_stock" => true);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Vanilla",           "in_stock" => false);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Avocado Chocolate", "in_stock" => false);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Bacon Me Crazy",    "in_stock" => true);
$flavors[] = array("name" => "Strawberry",        "in_stock" => false);

//add your code below this line
foreach ($flavors as $value) {
  if ($value['in_stock'] == true) {
  echo $value['name'];
}
?>

syntax error. You forgot to close the forEach loop (missing "}")

outline:

forEach....{
    if{
           ....
    }
}

Also if something feel like "nightmare" use compiler to check your code: https://repl.it/languages/php

If you don't want to use {} you can write your IF-Statement without, for instance:

foreach ($flavors as $value) {
  if ($value['in_stock'] == true) 
   echo $value['name'];
}
