The compiler will not accept this code. This is the third of three exercises in this review. The compiler says that this code will cause the first step to 'fail'.
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array(
array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'),
array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com')
);
echo "<ul>\n";
//$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";

42,386 PointsYour just missing a comma on each of the list item lines. Should be:
echo "<li>", $contacts[0]['name'], " : ", $contacts[0]['email'], "</li>\n";
[Edited] You also seem to have a space between [index] and ['name'] for each of the contacts, which may be a problem too.

17,317 PointsThat got me past that error. Now the compiler is giving me an error that states, "I do not see the use of the names form contacts array in the output. When calling the multidimensional array, you must first call the outer indexed array and then the inner associate array."
