And here is your 3rd challenge. It's getting a little harder ;-)

TODO: Write a script to print to the browser a different url every day of the month with a different category of url for each day of the week using a multi-dimensional array and no conditional statement

Can you explain a bit more with an example of what will happen in different days?

Make a multi-dimensional array with Differant categories of URLs. So say, monday gets a url from the car category, tuesday gets one from the hobbies category and so on. then next monday comes around and they get a differant URL from the car category.

Oh, ok. I get it now :)

Good habits die hard :stickout

$links[0][1]['url'] = 'Cars.com';
$links[0][1]['name'] = 'http://www.cars.com/';

So the url is Cars.com and the name is http://www.cars.com/ ?

lol. I didn't even notice that. Good job. I guess they had it backwords.
