i really dont know what he want me to do in this challenge ?

I included my code and i want to know why it gives me an error !!

<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');

$alena = array('name'=>'Alena Holligan');
$dave = array('name'=>'Dave McFarland');
$traesure = array('name'=>'Treasure Porth');
$andre = array('name'=>'Andrew Chalkley');

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Dave McFarland : dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Treasure Porth : treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Andrew Chalkley : andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

There is no need to create new separate arrays, include the name value pairs in the original array.

<?php
$contacts = array(
  ['name' => 'Alena Holligan'], 
  ['name' => 'Dave McFarland'],
  ['name' => 'Treasure Porth'], 
  ['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley']
);
