Problems to get right answer to get right echo from two dimensional array.

I have problems to get right answer to third step of multidimensional array echo test. I think you should provide right answer after user has tried few times to get right answer. From preview I can see that output is is correct but maybe style to add table information to the output is not like it should be. By giving right answer after few attempts user does not learn false methods. Basically if human does some things wrong way hundred times and one's right. Human does not learn the that right way, He/She learns those wrong ways He/She has tried so many times. So please give the right answer after couple times and then after evaluation the code, give the question again. Positive things gives you positive mental state and you will not get tired to learning.

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


echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
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";

You're missing a closing ?> tag. I pasted your code in, and the third challenge passes with and without the closing php tag. Maybe try refreshing?
