I have tried everything, not quite sure what i am doing wrong.
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array(
array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => "alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com"),
array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => "dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com"),
array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => "treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com"),
array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => "andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com")
);
echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li> $contacts[0]['name'] : $contacts[0]['email']</li>\n";
//echo "<li>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";

20,927 PointsHi Hunter! I don't think your array is set up correctly. This should get you headed in the right direction.
$contacts = array(['name' => 'Alena Holligan',
'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com' ],
['name' => 'Dave McFarland',
'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'],
['name' => 'Treasure Porth',
'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'],
['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley',
'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com']);
I hope this helps!

3,255 PointsNo, my arrays were correct. it was the lack of curly braces.
echo "<li> {$contacts[0]['name']} : {$contacts[0]['email']}</li>\n";
