17,253 PointsCan some one please help me?
May be my code is wrong or I am not able to grasp the question.
```$contacts = array(array('Alena Holligan' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'), array('Dave McFarland' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'), array('Treasure Porth' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'), array('Andrew Chalkley' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com') );
Here is my code, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the response.
```index.php
<?php
//edit this array
//$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
$contacts = array(array('Alena Holligan' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('Dave McFarland' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('Treasure Porth' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('Andrew Chalkley' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com')
);
echo "<ul>\n";
//$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";

13,520 PointsHi Piyush,
the first part of you answer is correct as you have created multidimensional array. The second part talks about ASSOCIATIVE array, using 'name' as the key. Like:
<?php
array( 'name' => 'Alena Holligan' )

13,520 PointsHi, I could have been more descriptive. The first part of the task is good, but the second one should look like this:
<?php
$contacts = array(
array( name => 'Alena Holligan' ),
array( name => 'Dave McFarland' ),
array( name => 'Treasure Porth' ),
array( name => 'Andrew Chalkley' )
);
so when you will want to add another key, like email, you just add a new key with a value:
<?php
$contacts = array(
array( name => 'Alena Holligan', email => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com' ),
etc

$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') );

13,520 Pointssorry, I forgot to wrap keys with ' so it should be 'name' and 'email'...

17,253 PointsI didn't get what you mean by this? I didn't get how to form this kind of array.
