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

9,389 PointsHi Ayish, It seems this challenge requires to use multidimensional array in other words it's array in the array. I will give a little tip on the task. First you have a simple array like
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
which you can access by
echo $contacts[0];
The challenge wants you to use array in the array, so it would be something like that.
<?php
$contacts = array(
array(
'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
array(
'name' => 'Dave McFarland'...
);
echo "<ul>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[0]['name'] . " : " . $contacts[0]['email'] . "</li>\n";
echo "<li>" . $contacts[1]['name'] ...
This is my first post, I hope it will help you to beat challenge:)
