Multidimensional array

What's wrong ?

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

echo "\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
$contacts[0] = ["name" => "Alena Holligan",  "email" => "alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com"];
$contacts[1] = ["name" => "Dave McFarland", "email" => "dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com"];
$contacts[2] = ["name" => "Treasure Porth", "email" => "treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com"];
$contacts[3] = ["name" => "Andrew Chalkley", "email" => "andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com"];

echo "<ul>\n";
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";

There's nothing wrong with the list items you've done - I think it's just the extra echo "\n"; line above your array that's causing it to fail. Remove that and it should pass.

Note that while your array code passed Tasks 1 and 2, setting the numeric array keys like you have done wouldn't be very practical for a real world project. The way the task expected you to do it, was to edit the initial array as follows:

<?php
//edit this array
$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')
);

Thank you very much for your answer. But it still doesn't work. I removed /n and wrote the code as you said but it still says that the output is not correct.
