I could not solve this challenge.
In the code below, we have a simple array of contact names. We want to use the $contacts array to fill in the hardcoded list of names an email addresses. To hold the email as well as the name for each contact, we need a multidimensional array, meaning each person in the contact list will have their own array. The first step is to make each person their own single item ASSOCIATIVE array, using 'name' as the key for these internal arrays.
For treehouse can you please make your messages more descriptive!
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
$contacts = array(
array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'),
);
echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]['name'], " : " . $contacts[0]['email'] . "</li>";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[1]['name'], " : " . $contacts[1]['email'] . "</li>";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[2]['name'], " : " . $contacts[2]['email'] . "</li>";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[3]['name'], " : " . $contacts[3]['email'] . "</li>";
echo "</ul>\n";

In your output section you have commas after the name but these should be periods to perform string concatenation.
Also, the original output had \n after the closing </li> like this </li>\n
You're missing these from your code.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsAnother thing I missed is that you're echoing the opening ul tag twice. It should only be 1 time.
