PHP array

$arrayf = array('name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'); $arrays = array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'); $arrayt = array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'); $arrayf = array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com');

$contacts = array($arrayf, $arrays, $arrayt, $arrayf);

var_dump($contacts);

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array



//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
$arrayf = array('name' => 'Alena Holligan',
                'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com');
$arrays = array('name' => 'Dave McFarland', 
                'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com');
$arrayt = array('name' => 'Treasure Porth', 
                'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com');
$arrayf = array('name' => 'Andrew Chalkley',
                 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com');

$contacts = array($arrayf, $arrays, $arrayt, $arrayf);

var_dump($contacts);

Could you explain what you are trying to accomplish? Based on the note above your code, the task just to create an array which stores the string, 'Alena Holligan', as its first value.

Gurveer Singh I'm not sure what your question is because you didn't ask one. I can however tell you that you have two different $arrayf arrays and the second one (the Andrew Chalkley one) will overwrite the first (the Alena Holligan one)
