I don't understand how to get both email and name to echo

I don't understand how to get both email and name to echo

index.php
<?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 $contacts[0]['name'];
echo $contacts[1]['name'];
echo $contacts[2]['name'];
echo $contacts[3]['name'];
echo "</ul>\n";

You got the first part correct, all you need in order to print the email as well is just by using the same code you used for name but instead you use email and concatenate it using .

Hope that helps, you're doing great! ?

echo "<ul>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]["name"] . " : " . $contacts[0]["email"] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[1]["name"] . " : " . $contacts[1]["email"] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[2]["name"] . " : " . $contacts[2]["email"] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[3]["name"] . " : " . $contacts[3]["email"] . "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";
