Below, how do I correctly place (1985) inside PHP tags?
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"] . '(1985)'; ?></h1>

<h1><?php echo $movie['title'];?> (1985)</h1>
with the date outside of the PHP.

1,823 PointsCarla Thomas Your version works just fine for me, displays the title and then (1985) within the H1. Not sure why you'd need it within the PHP tags though?
The other answer will echo out: $movie["title"](1985) since single quotes within an echo won't alter the PHP variables within.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsHi Chris,
I am taking the PHP course here at teamtreehouse and the assignment is to wrap php within the html tags. This is the error message I get:
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.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsThanks. As soon as I your work above, it all made sense. The HTML and PHP should remain separate, so (1985) should not have been included with the PHP nor did it need parenthesis because the browser was automatically interpreting it as HTML and not PHP.
You are AWESOME! Thanks again :)
