Anything wrong with the code.??

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array(array('name'=>'Alena Holligan', 'email'=>'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'), array('name'=>'Dave McFarland','email'=>'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com')
                 , array('name'=>'Treasure Porth','email'=>'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'), 
                  array('name'=>'Andrew Chalkley','email'=>'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'));
foreach($contacts as $name)
echo "<ul>\n";

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

Hi Shubham,

It looks like you're trying to echo out all the values in a single string.

But you want to use some concatenation here so you can echo the array values. As you probably know you can do this with the concatenation operator; ".".

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

As you can see I've put the concatenation operator in various different places in the string, to separate the string parts between the dynamic values. That way you can get your list item and it's contents. Good luck!
