php foreach loop from multidimensional array

I have a multidimensional array which I want to display in a foreach loop. I've been looking at lots of tutorials but I haven't been able to make it work yet.

This is my array and foreach loop:

$events = array( 
           array( Name => "First Event", 
                  Date => "12/13/14",
                  Time => "12:13"
                  Description => "event description"
                ),
           array( Name => "Second Event", 
                  Date => "12/13/14",
                  Time => "12:13",
                  Description => "event description"
                ),
           array( Name => "Third Event", 
                  Date => "12/13/14",
                  Time => "12:13"
                  Description => "event description"
                )
         );

foreach($events as $event) {
    echo "<div class=\"event\"><strong>";
    echo $event[Name];
    echo "</strong><em>";
    echo $event[Date] . " at " . $event[Time];
    echo "</em><div>";
    echo $event[Description];
    echo "</div></div>";
}

and here is how I want it to display: 

<div class="event">
  <strong>Event Name</strong><em>Date at Time</em>
  <div>
    Description 
  </div>
</div>

I would appreciate any help you could give. Thanks!

The keys should be in quotes. E.g.: 'Name' rather than Name

<?php foreach($events as $event): ?>
<div class="event">
   <strong><?php echo $event['Name'] ?></strong><em><?php echo $event['Date'] ?> at <?php echo $event['Time'] ?></em>
   <div>
    <?php echo $event['Description'] ?>
  </div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

The keys are missing quotes and Time => "12:13" missing comma "," at the end:

<?php
$events = array( 
           array( "Name" => "First Event", 
                  "Date" => "12/13/14",
                  "Time" => "12:13",
                  "Description" => "event description"
                ),
           array( "Name" => "Second Event", 
                  "Date" => "12/13/14",
                  "Time" => "12:13",
                  "Description" => "event description"
                ),
           array( "Name" => "Third Event", 
                  "Date" => "12/13/14",
                  "Time" => "12:13",
                  "Description" => "event description"
                )
         );

foreach($events as $event) {
?>
<div class="event">
    <strong><?php echo $event["Name"];?></strong><em><?php echo $event["Date"];?></em>
    <div><?php echo $event["Description"];?></div>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Output

First Event 12/13/14

event description

Second Event 12/13/14

event description

Third Event 12/13/14

event description

Try this: 

foreach($events as $record) {

    $name = $record["name"];
    $date = $record["date"];
    $time = $record["time"];
    $description = $record["description"];

    print("
      // your html code with the variables here
    ");

}
