Completely baffled

I am om part 3 of multi dimensional array challenge, i have restarted 4 times.. I have used both the concatenation and curly bracket methods in order to output my array values in a <ul>. Both outputs look ths same as the list with hard coded info... Neither is right... Eg

echo "<li>" .  $contacts[0] ['names'] . ":\n" .  $contacts[0]['email'] . "<>\n" ;

And

echo "<li> {$contacts[0] ['names']}  :\n {$contacts[0]['email']}  <>\n" ;

Neither of these are correct in the fashion to allow me to move forward. Would appreciate the correct syntax you are looking for.

Turns out it was a matter of spacing around the colon. May i suggest that the error for incorrect submission possibly be more specific, ie expected character missing, as this is not the first time i have been tripped up over white spacing in a code that generally ignores it.
