2,887 Pointsmisleading challenge??
The challenge from how i see it wants you to do an associative array surely this is how it should look but it's saying i need parenthesis ...and won't pass??
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array (
'name' => 'Alena Holligan',
'name' => 'Dave Mcfarland',
'name' => 'Treasure Porth',
'name' => 'Andrew Chalkley',
);
echo "<ul>\n";
//$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";

$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"
)
);

2,887 PointsThanks for the reply...it was a bit misleading because it is actually also known as a nested array but the question said associative array.
