Problem with Code sample in Teachers notes

Hi all,

I was wondering if Alena Holligan or somebody could clear up something for me.

I was able to reproduce the "cleaner ingredients" list for this video by following along the video without simply copying the code sample. So I looked at the code closely and I see that the code sample isn't the same as the version in the video.

So I commented out the version I made in my code and pasted this code sample into my project and it causes an error.

When I use the version of the method getCombinedIngredients I followed in the video the page works but the code sample produces the following error...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in filepath\recipiecollection.php on line 144

Any ideas? What's the code sample for? What was it meant to do? Thanks :)

This is the code sample

//Code Sample from Teachers notes. 
       public function getCombinedIngredients()
        {
            $ingredients = array();
            foreach ($this->recipes as $recipe) {
                foreach ($recipe->getIngredients() as $i) {
                    $item = $i['item'];
                    if (strpos($item, ",")) {
                        $item = strstr($item, ",", true);
                    }
                    if (in_array($item . "s", $ingredient_list)) {
                        $item .= "s";
                    } else if (in_array(substr($ingredient,0,-1),$ingredient_list)) {
                        $ingredient = substr($ingredient,0,-1);
                    }
                    $ingredient_list[$item][] = array($i["amount"],$i["measure"]);
                }
            }
            return $ingredients.
        }

Thanks for finding thatJonathan Grieve! I must have copied the code from the wrong place :) I updated it now
