Question one multi dimensional arrays

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array

$contacts = array(
  array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alenaholligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'davemcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => 'treasureporth@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => 'andrewchalkley@teamtreehouse.com'),
);
echo "<ul>\n";

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

The reason why your task number one is not passing is that in your array $contacts in each email you're missing a dot after each teacher's name (alena.holligan ) The second thing is when you're echoing out the name and email, you're not actually calling the email of each person you're calling their arrays; to call the email you need to add $contacts[0]["email"]. The last thing, remember to add after each closing </li> a new line </n>. I think if you don't add at the end of each </li> the </n> your task won't pass.
