I've repleced the hardcode with the applicable associative array items, but still doesn't validate why?? echo "</ul>"

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

$contacts = array(array('name' => 'Alena Holligan'), array('name' => 'Dave McFarland'), array('name' => 'Treasure Porth'), array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley'));

$contacts = array(array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'), array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'), array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'), array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'));

echo "<ul>"; //$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'] .

Hello!

At a quick glance it looks ok, the code challenges can be a bit finicky though so the extra "echo <ul>\n;" might be causing the error.

Hope that helps!
