php array

pls tell me how to output this

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";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>$contacts[0]['name'] : $conatcts[0]['email'] </li>\n";
echo "<li>$contacts[1]['name'] : $conatcts[1]['email']</li>\n";
echo "<li>$contacts[2]['name'] : $conatcts[2]['email']</li>\n";
echo "<li>$contacts[3]['name'] : $conatcts[3]['email']</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

your approach is correct, but the error you are getting is, I believe array to string conversion error, you cannot mix array with a string, unless you use the concatenation operator, try using the concatenation operator, where ever it is needed, almost there you are.

<?php
//note the string could be mixed this way
$name = "anton";
echo "hello $name";

//if at all to mix an array with a string, you need to use the concatenation operator, where ever it is applicable.

?>
