Code Challenge Problem

<?php

$movie = array(); $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";

?>

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

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.

What is going on here?

movie.php 
<?php

$movie = array();
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";

?>

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

Craig,

The issue here is that the challenge is asking you to do something that seems odd at first; they want you to make sure to leave the year and parenthesis ("(1985)") in the h1 element. Additionally, you need to make sure you leave the space between the movie title and the opening parenthesis, or it will fail out.

You have:

<h1><?php echo $movie['title']; ?></h1>

You need:

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

Make sure you keep an eye open for these kinds of small details for the remainder of the challenge, as they are likely to be present. Hope this helps!

Erik
