PHP Arrays

Don't know whats wrong with this code... Any ideas?

$contacts[0] = array( 'name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'mail' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com', ); $contacts[1] = array( 'name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'mail' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com', ); $contacts[2] = array( 'name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'mail' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com',

); $contacts[3] = array( 'name' =>'Andrew Chalkley', 'mail' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com', );

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts[0] = array(
  'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
  'mail' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com',
  );
  $contacts[1] = array(
  'name' => 'Dave McFarland',
  'mail' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com',
  );
  $contacts[2] = array(
  'name' => 'Treasure Porth',
  'mail' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com',  

  );
  $contacts[3] = array(
  'name' =>'Andrew Chalkley',
  'mail' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com',
  );

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</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";

Hi Cindy Gut,

I think it should be email key instead of mail in your array.

By changing mail to email should help to pass Task 2. But 3rd Task asks to display values from the array. I though you were stuck on Task 2. Here's the final code to pass whole challenge.

<?php
//edit this array
$contacts[0] = array(
  'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
  'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com',
  );
  $contacts[1] = array(
  'name' => 'Dave McFarland',
  'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com',
  );
  $contacts[2] = array(
  'name' => 'Treasure Porth',
  'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com',  

  );
  $contacts[3] = 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>" . $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";
?>
