I have watched this video multiple times and looked over my code. I cannot seem to find the problem, I do not get the same output as the instructor. My code is copied verbatim from the video. Any help would be appreciated.

    public function getCombinedIngredients(){

      $ingredients = array();
      foreach($this->recipes as $recipe){

        foreach ($recipe->getIngredients() as $ing){
            $item = $ing["item"];

            if (strpos($item, ",")) {
              $item = strstr($item, ",", true);
            }

            if (substr($item, -1) == "s" && array_key_exists(rtrim($item, "s"), $ingredients)){
              $item = rtrim($item, "s");
            } else if (array_key_exists($item . "s", $ingredients)) {
              $item .= "s";
            }

            $ingredients[$ing["item"]] = array(
              $ing["amount"],
              $ing["measure"]
            );

        }
      }
      return $ingredients;
    }

Okay, this is for anyone who may answer. It was a reference error on my part. The $ingrendients[$ing["item"] should have been written as $ingredients[$item]
