Stuck in this step

Kindly tell me what to do because i have tried everything that has been mentioned within the task

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');

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



$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";

echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]['name'] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>"  . $contacts[1]['name'] ."</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[2]['name'] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[3]['name'] . "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

You are very close. Instead of duplicating the code below the code that the task puts in place we are going to modify their code. So remove everything above your second contacts array and for the output at the bottom modify each of the line items to follow:

echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]['name'] . " : " . $contacts[0]['email] . "</li>\n";

A way that you can do it without concatenating the fields would be to just insert your PHP between the double-quotes

echo "<li>{$contacts[0]['name']} : {$contacts[0]['email]}</li>\n";
