1,287 PointsHow do I echo more than one value of a nested multidimensional array?
The attached code produces an illegal offset error. I'm not sure how to accomplish the task provided without simply writing a new line per desired echo command. In other words, how do I echo both values in the inner arrays of $contacts?
<?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 $contacts[0]['name']['email'];
echo $contacts[1]['name']['email'];
echo $contacts[2]['name']['email'];
echo $contacts[3]['name']['email'];
echo "</ul>\n";

<?php
echo $contacts[0]['name'] . " " . $contacts[0]['email'];
?>
