PHP PHP Arrays and Control Structures PHP Arrays Multidimensional Arrays

Challenge Task 3 of 3 Replace the hard coded values in the output with the name and email

Not sure why my codes for this challenge is not going through.

Please help

index.php
<?php
//edit this array
$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'
  ]

);

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>$contacts[0]['name'].': '.$contacts[0]['email']</li>";
echo "<li>$contacts[1]['name'].': '.$contacts[1]['email']</li>";
echo "<li>$contacts[2]['name'].': '.$contacts[2]['email']</li>";
echo "<li>$contacts[3]['name'].': '.$contacts[3]['email']</li>";
echo "</ul>\n";

Hey Ryan - There are two issues:

  1. The outer quote next to the colon needs to be a double quote if you're going to use string interpolation.
  2. You need to wrap the array access portion in curly braces.
echo "<li>{$contacts[0]['name']} : {$contacts[0]['email']}</li>";
