I am stuck on the last part of this problem

I am stuck on this problem

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

echo "<ul>\n";

$contacts[0] = array("name" => "Alena Holligan", "email" =>"alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[1] = array("name" => "Dave McFarland", "email" => "dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[2] = array("name" => "Treasure Porth", "email" => "treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[3] = array("name" => "Andrew Chalkley","email" => "andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com");


//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo $contacts[0]["name"]["email"];
echo $contacts[1]["name"]["email"];
echo $contacts[2]["name"]["email"];
echo $contacts[3]["name"]["email"];

The Problem Is Here

echo $contacts[0]["name"]["email"];

Multi Array Has Only Two arguments array['position of the single array']['key on the single array']

For Example :

// you tell php that you have a Multi Array told $Contacts  
$contacts[] = array("name" => "Alena Holligan", "email" =>"alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[] = array("name" => "Dave McFarland", "email" => "dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[] = array("name" => "Treasure Porth", "email" => "treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com");
$contacts[] = array("name" => "Andrew Chalkley","email" => "andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com");

// And To Reach The Data inside it 
echo $contacts[0]["name"] .  $contacts[0]["email"]; // you can only pass two thing in array[keys of the single array][Value of it ]
