8,537 Pointsmultidimensional arrays - challenge task 1 of 3 working but not correct ?
This is my code to achieve the task. It works but is called incorrect. Can you give me an example of how this task is to be achieved using an array for each individual?
$contacts['name'][0] = 'Alena Holligan'; $contacts['name'][1] = 'Dave McFarland'; $contacts['name'][2] = 'Treasure Porth'; $contacts['name'][3] = 'Andrew Chalkley';
$contacts['email'][0] = 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'; $contacts['email'][1] = 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'; $contacts['email'][2] = 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'; $contacts['email'][3] = 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com';
echo "<ul>\n"; echo '<li>'; echo $contacts['name'][0]; echo ' : '; echo $contacts['email'][0]; echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>'; echo $contacts['name'][1]; echo ' : '; echo $contacts['email'][1]; echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>'; echo $contacts['name'][2]; echo ' : '; echo $contacts['email'][2]; echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>'; echo $contacts['name'][3]; echo ' : '; echo $contacts['email'][3]; echo "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts['name'][0] = 'Alena Holligan';
$contacts['name'][1] = 'Dave McFarland';
$contacts['name'][2] = 'Treasure Porth';
$contacts['name'][3] = 'Andrew Chalkley';
$contacts['email'][0] = 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com';
$contacts['email'][1] = 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com';
$contacts['email'][2] = 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com';
$contacts['email'][3] = 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com';
echo "<ul>\n";
echo '<li>';
echo $contacts['name'][0];
echo ' : ';
echo $contacts['email'][0];
echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>';
echo $contacts['name'][1];
echo ' : ';
echo $contacts['email'][1];
echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>';
echo $contacts['name'][2];
echo ' : ';
echo $contacts['email'][2];
echo "</li>\n";
echo '<li>';
echo $contacts['name'][3];
echo ' : ';
echo $contacts['email'][3];
echo "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

8,537 PointsI understand it now. My answer would in effect be the same as making 2 separate arrays, like this.: (rather than an array for each person) $contacted['name'] = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley'); $contacted['email'] = array('alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com', 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com', 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com', 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'); Though it works to solve the challenge,I guess the downside of this could be what happens to one array if you change the other.
