Im stuck with this. Can somebody troubleshoot for me?

index.php 
<?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"),
          );

echo "<ul>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[0][0] . ":" . $contacts[0][1] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[1][0] . ":" . $contacts[1][1] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[2][0] . ":" . $contacts[2][1] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[3][0] . ":" . $contacts[3][1] . "</li>\n";

You're so very close!

<?php
echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]['name'] . " : " . $contacts[0]['email'] . "</li>\n";

Yeah, i figured that out a few minutes after posting. However, I still can't get it -- locally it gives me the right output, but the following error is generated on the TH compiler:

Bummer! I do not see the required output. You should not be modifying the output at this point.

here is the full code : 

<?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"),
          );

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 a typo in your code and it isn't even really a typo.. Dave McFarland has a capital F. I changed that and the code passed
