6,023 PointsI may misunderstand what the challenge (Associative array) asked me to do?
I am guessing the task 3 of challenge of associative array wanted me to display a name and his/her email by using associative array. From the preview of the challenge , I successfully displayed as below:
Alena Holligan: alena.holligan@treehouseteam.com
but the system is still saying I am wrong. I can't figure out what to do. Please help.
<?php
//edit this array
$asso1 = array(
'name'=> 'Alena Holligan',
'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com',
);
$asso2 = array(
'name'=> 'Dave McFarland',
'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com',
);
$asso3 = array(
'name'=> 'Treasure Porth',
'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com',
);
$asso4 = array(
'name'=> 'Andrew Chalkley',
'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com',
);
$contacts = array($asso1, $asso2,$asso3,$asso4);
//var_dump($contacts);
//echo $contacts[0]['email'];
echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>".$contacts[0]['name']. ': '.$contacts[0]['email'] ."<ul>\n" ;
echo "<li>".$contacts[1]['name']. ': '.$contacts[1]['email'] ."<ul>\n";
echo "<li>".$contacts[2]['name']. ': '.$contacts[2]['email'] ."<ul>\n";
echo "<li>".$contacts[3]['name']. ': '.$contacts[3]['email'] ."<ul>\n";
echo "</ul>\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"; */
