Hi Michael, Unless you like seeing that error message it is not ok. If you do print "<pre>"; print_r($a); print"</pre>";
,you will get a very good detailed visual of your array content. You're array only has one key/value pair. Try $a = array('a' => 'b', 'b' => 'b2', 'c' => 'b3' ); followed by the rest of your code and you should be good to go.
