850 PointsStuck on PHP Array Challenge 1
I don't seem to understand the question. Every array I try tells me I need another "array()" for each person. Should I leave the simple array $contacts intact and create new arrays? Or, reconstruct $contacts to fit the requirements of the "first step" as outlined in the question? Is the key 'name' required in the completion of this challenge? Any more details as to how the answer should be structured would be helpful.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Scott,
Right now, the $contacts array is a simple array of 4 strings. Task 1 wants you to replace each of those strings with a new array where the key is "name" and the teacher's name is the value at that key.
For example, Alena's array would look like this:
array("name" => 'Alena Holligan')
Each teacher's name is getting replaced with an array like that.
Let me know if you're still stuck.

850 PointsThank you for your response!
Yes, this is one thing I tried, except I was making individual arrays for each person instead of creating another array inside of $contacts ("an internal array").
This helped! Thank you, again.
