Problem with the foreach exercise

I am having a problem with the 3rd part of the foreach loop exercise. When it asks for me to modify the foreach loop to only display the flavors in stock, I am adding a conditional. It then says task 1 is no longer passing, but the code I wrote works in workspaces and previews correctly in workspaces, just not in the challenge.

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 $key => $type) {if ($type["in_stock"] {
  echo $type["name"];
}
}
?>

It looks like there's a closing parenthesis missing at the end of the conditional statement. It should be: if ($type["in_stock"])

foreach ($flavors as $key => $type) {
  if ($type["in_stock"]) {
  echo $type["name"];
  }
}
