The code should look like this

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

^ this is the array

<h1><?php echo $movie ["title"]?> (1985)</h1>

and this should be what the first level header looks like. When you echo out $movie and pass in the key of ["title"] the server is going to add the appropriate html.

Hey Don, It seems this part of the challenge is asking you to replace the title of the movie currently in the <h1></h1> tags with the name of the movie stored in the php array. Try replacing what is inside of the H1 tags with a php code block echoing the name of the film inside the array.

If I place this code it reads, Bummer! The title of the second movie is not displayed in the <h1>. if this <h1<?php $movie["title"], "Back to the Future (1985)" ; ?></h1> Bummer! The title of the second movie is not displayed in the <h1>. This <?php $movie = array(); $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back"; $movie[] = "Back To The Future (1985)"; foreach ($movie as $newMovie){ ?> <h1><?php echo $newMovie; ?></h1> <?php } ?> reads Bummer! It looks like the title of the second movie is in the <h1>, but something else isn't quite right. Double-check the parentheses and the year.

Re watched the videos several times. I do not know how to create a key than change the variable to read without creating a new key.
