It's probably a question of phrasing that i'm not getting.

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = [
  'Alena Holligan' => ['name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'contact' => '[email protected]'], 
  'Dave McFarland' => ['name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'contact' => '[email protected]'],
  'Treasure Porth' => ['name' => 'Treasure Porth', 'contact' => '[email protected]'],
  'Andrew Chalkley' =>['name' => 'Andrew Chalkley', 'contact' => '[email protected]']
];

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : [email protected]</li>\n";
echo "<li>Dave McFarland : [email protected]</li>\n";
echo "<li>Treasure Porth : [email protected]</li>\n";
echo "<li>Andrew Chalkley : [email protected]</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

Here's a couple of hints:

  • only the inner arrays are associative, the outer array can remain as it was
  • try using the "array()" format to define both the inner and outer arrays
