Not able to Pass Step 1

It's probably a question of phrasing that i'm not getting.

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = [
  'Alena Holligan' => ['name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'contact' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'], 
  'Dave McFarland' => ['name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'contact' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'],
  'Treasure Porth' => ['name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'contact' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'],
  'Andrew Chalkley' =>['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'contact' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com']
];

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";

Here's a couple of hints:

  • only the inner arrays are associative, the outer array can remain as it was
  • try using the "array()" format to define both the inner and outer arrays
