You must return the dimensions using the $size parameter

I really don't understand this error. I compiled my code on a server and it works.

index.php 
<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size){
      $result = $size['length'].' x '. $size['width'];
      return $result;
    }
}
$size = array (
  'length' => 12,
  'width' => 14
);
echo Render::displayDimensions($size);
?>

Heja..

For the challange, you dont need to specify the $size array yourself.. Just give it as a param, and then you need to access the first (length) and the second (width) item in this array.. so, this code should probably do the trick:

<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size){
      $result = $size[0].' x '. $size[1];
      return $result;
    }
}

echo Render::displayDimensions($size);

meh... why did the problem says "The accepted parameter $size will be an array containing length and width in that order!" thats confusing! I was doing the same thing and I couldn't see what was wrong....
