<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('name1'=>array('Alena Holligan,alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'), 'name2'=>array('Dave McFarland','dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
'name3'=>array('Treasure Porth','treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'),
'name4'=>array('Andrew Chalkley','andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'));
var_dump($contacts);
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";

5,965 PointsThe first challenge only wants you to build the arrays with the 'name' values. You will add 'email' in the second challenge.
<?php
$contacts = array(
array('name'=>'Alena Holligan'),
array('name'=>'Dave McFarland'),
array('name'=>'Treasure Porth'),
array('name'=>'Andrew Chalkley')
);

5,965 PointsWhich part are you having trouble passing?
Challenge 2 of 3?
In this challenge they want an array key of 'email' you named it 'Email', the solution is a simple as renaming all of the 'Email' keys to 'email'.
For Challenge 3 of 3 you have to use array access to get the information replacing the hardcoded string. For example:
<?php
echo "<li>{$contacts[0]['name']} : {$contacts[0]['email']}</li>\n"; // would replace
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n"; // this

6,571 PointsHow did you know to add the brackets before the php values? Was wondering if this is something they taught and I forgot due to lack of use and practice, or if it was something you had to google?

5,965 PointsEach 'value' in the arrays need to be given a 'key'.
In your code you are adding the email addresses into the same string as the names.
<?php
var_dump($contacts[$name1]) // Would return "Alena Holligan,alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com"
There isn't really an easy way to grab the name or email values this way.
What you want to do is break up each piece of information (name and email) like this:
<?php
$contacts = array(
$name1 => array(
'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'
)
);
This way you could access the values like so:
<?php
echo $contacts[$name1]['name'] // Would echo 'Alena Hooligan'
echo $contacts[$name1]['email'] // Would echo 'alena.hooligan@teamtreehouse.com'

<?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 $contacts[0]['name'];
echo "<ul>\n";
//$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";
?>
