Need some help with direction

I understand what the question is asking, but cant seem to produce what it is the system wants... A small point in the right format would be greatly appreciated.

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

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Dave McFarland : dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Treasure Porth : treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Andrew Chalkley : andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

Hi Stu,

The idea here is that you want to replace each teacher name with an associative array where the key is "name" and the value is the teacher's name.

Doing that for Alena would look like this:

$contacts = array(
    array('name' => 'Alena Holligan'),
    'Dave McFarland',
    'Treasure Porth',
    'Andrew Chalkley'
);
