Replace the hard coded values in the output with the name and email values from the contacts array

I'm not sure how to solve this. Can anyone help?

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";

Hello!

If you're still stuck, the answer should be:

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

Hi there! Question is solved before under Sorting Arrays video (the video before this challenge). A tip for you: someone has always asked the same question under the video after/before the challenge! Happy coding!

Niki Molnar's answer is correct. I had trouble with that one.
