Sintax error in PHP invoking an array inside a column

Question

Can anyone tell me where is the syntax error of the following code:

echo "<td bgcolor=.$cores[i].></td>";

$cores is an array of colors codes:

$cores = array("#FF0000","#FFBF00","#FFFF00","#04B404","#58FAF4","#0101DF","#8A0886");

PHP is also not recursively embeddable/executable. `.` inside your string is pointless - those are literal `.`, not concatenation operators. — Marc B, May 27 '15 at 15:00
shouldn't it be $cores[$i] ? Is 'i' a (undefined so treated as string) constant? — Damien Pirsy, May 27 '15 at 15:00
error reporting should be throwing you an undefined constant i notice. — Funk Forty Niner, May 27 '15 at 15:01
the erros it complains is this: Notice: Undefined index: i in C:\xampp\htdocs\Ficha4_4\ficha4_2.php on line 22 — TFDD, May 27 '15 at 15:09

Or `echo '';` – Geoff Atkins May 27 '15 at 14:59
@GeoffAtkins I don't like to use that syntax, it hurts my eyes :) – Miguel Mesquita Alfaiate May 27 '15 at 15:00
@DamienPirsy well spotted :) – Miguel Mesquita Alfaiate May 27 '15 at 15:01
*this this* - explaining where code may be failing, is crucial for anyone wanting to learn ;-) – Funk Forty Niner May 27 '15 at 15:03
It's not working neither of these solutions. – TFDD May 27 '15 at 15:07
@TiagoDavid Paste the full error message – Miguel Mesquita Alfaiate May 27 '15 at 15:10
It's missing a $ before i in the array parameter: should be: echo ''; Thank you. – TFDD May 27 '15 at 15:10
The problem now is that it's putting the different colors in rows instead of columns. – TFDD May 27 '15 at 15:56
