I keep getting a syntax error.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$contacts' (T_VARIABLE), expecting ',' or ';' in index.php on line 9 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$contacts' (T_VARIABLE), expecting ',' or ';' in index.php on line 9 Errors parsing index.php
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts[] = array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' =>'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com');
$contacts[] = array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' =>'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com');
$contacts[] = array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' =>'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com');
$contacts[] = array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' =>'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com');
echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>" $contacts[0]['name'] : $contacts[0]['email']" </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";

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