I cannot pass third task

I think I did all right but I cannot pass third task.

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts[] = [
  'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
  'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com',
];
$contacts[] = [
  'name' => 'Dave McFarland',
  'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com',
];
$contacts[] = [
  'name' => 'Treasure Porth',
  'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com',
];
$contacts[] = [
  'name' => 'Andrew Chalkley',
  'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com',
];


echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>";
echo $contacts[0]['name'];
echo ":";
echo $contacts[0]['email'];
echo "</li>\n";
echo "<li>";
echo $contacts[1]['name'];
echo ":";
echo $contacts[1]['email'];
echo "</li>\n";
echo "<li>";
echo $contacts[2]['name'];
echo ":";
echo $contacts[2]['email'];
echo "</li>\n";
echo "<li>";
echo $contacts[3]['name'];
echo ":";
echo $contacts[3]['email'];
echo "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

?>

You syntax may work, but the challenge wants to see concatenation in the final echo statements. It should look like this:

//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>".$contacts[0]['name']." : ".$contacts[0]['email']."</li>\n";
echo "<li>".$contacts[1]['name']." : ".$contacts[1]['email']."</li>\n";
echo "<li>".$contacts[2]['name']." : ".$contacts[2]['email']."</li>\n";
echo "<li>".$contacts[3]['name']." : ".$contacts[3]['email']."</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much Joe! I could finally pass the challenge task 3 by adding space in the " : " between each name and email.
