    Don't use the variable name $this. It is reserved, and php thinks you're trying to do something else.

    this in PHP is simliar to this in C++. Try using different variable names.

    $this is a keyword that refers to the class from which it's called from. In the code
    Code (Text):
    1. else foreach ($board as $this) {
    replace $this with another variable. When you do that, you must also replace $this within the { and } brackets of the foreach loop.

    Something seems seriously wrong here. That's just one of those errors you shouldn't ever be getting in a script you're not actively working on yourself.

    Agreed, any moderate PHP programmer would not make that mistake.

    And when they say replace it with another variable do something like this:

    Code (Text):
    1. else foreach ($board as $subBoard) {
    Then replace every instance of $this in the following code with $subBoard.
