<?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' => '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";
