Associative Arrays Challenge 5/7

I keep getting sent back to step 3 saying something I've done has been overriden. Please help.

Prompt: Right now, the <h1> element has the year of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that INSTEAD displays the year of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the parentheses intact.)

My code:

<?php $movie=array( "title"=>"The Empire Strikes Back", "year"=>"1980", ); ?>

<h1> <?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>) </h1>

<table> <tr> <th>Director</th> <td>Robert Zemeckis</td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Rating</th> <td>8.5</td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Ranking</th> <td>53</td> </tr> </table>

I don't remember the sentence but be careful for space between the parentheses and the year.

Thanks, I figured it out. Here's the code that worked: <?php $movie=array( "title"=> "The Empire Strikes Back", "year"=>"1980", "director"=>"Irvin Kershner", "imdb_rating"=>8.8, "imdb_ranking"=>11, ) ; ?> <h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>)</h1>

<table> <tr> <th>Director</th> <td><?php echo $movie["director"] ;?></td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Rating</th> <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_rating"] ;?></td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Ranking</th> <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_ranking"] ;?></td> </tr> </table>

When you set values in the array you had a comma after "1980" that was breaking it.
