<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
$contacts[0] = ['name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' =>'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'];
$contacts[1] = ['name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' =>'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'];
$contacts[2] = ['name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' =>'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'];
$contacts[3] = ['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' =>'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'];
echo "<ul>\n";
//$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";

Treehouse TeacherHi there! This really comes down to spacing. You've chosen to put spaces between the sets of brackets such as $contacts[0] ['name'] instead of $contacts[0]['name']. I believe this would be perfectly fine outside the challenge (if not a little non-standard practice), but the challenge really doesn't like it.
But you also have another spacing error. In each line, you have one space before the colon, but no space after the colon. The original formatting of the output had a space on either side.
So if I rewrite those lines in this format...
// this was yours
echo "<li>".$contacts[0] ['name']." :". $contacts[0] ['email']."</li>\n";
// this is mine
echo "<li>".$contacts[0]['name']." : ". $contacts[0]['email']."</li>\n";
... then your code passes!
Hope this helps!

2,971 PointsThank you Jennifer =) i was able to get it after a few more attempts and looking up some code. Here's what passed <?php //edit this array $contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
$contacts[0] = ['name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' =>'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com']; $contacts[1] = ['name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' =>'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com']; $contacts[2] = ['name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' =>'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com']; $contacts[3] = ['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' =>'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'];
echo "<ul>\n"; //$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";
