Research direction

Search the repository's installation instructions for the eb init example and compare its platform value with the AWS Elastic Beanstalk documentation linked in the issue. Done means the example uses php-7.0 rather than php7.0 and no longer shows the invalid form.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This form gave me an error:

#eb init --platform php7.0 --region us-east-1
ERROR: NotFoundError - The EB CLI cannot find a platform for key "php7.0".

This form worked:
#eb init --platform php-7.0 --region us-east-1
Application drupal-beanstalk has been created.

--platform php-7.0 (instead of php7.0) is the correct syntax per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb3-init.html

Thanks!
