Question on Challenge 1 of 3, multi dim. arrays.

The directions say .."The first step is to make each person their own single item ASSOCIATIVE array, using 'name' as the key for these internal arrays..."

Here is what I did: $Alena = array('Alena Holligan'=>'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'); $Dave = array('Dave McFarland'=>'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com');
$Treasure = array('Treasure Porth'=>'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'); $Andrew = array('Andrew Chalkley'=>'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com');

result: Bummer! Each person in the contact list should have their own internal array. Use another "array()" for each person.

This is what is required:

$contacts = array(
        array('name'=>'Alena Holligan'),
                  array('name'=>'Dave McFarland'),
                  array('name'=>'Treasure Porth'),
                  array('name'=>'Andrew Chalkley'));

You will add the email addresses in the second task.
