PHP Build a Basic PHP Website (2018) Listing and Sorting Inventory Items Associative Arrays

using a PHP Command display title of the movie from the array, be sure to leave <h1> tags and year intact

By the end of this code challenge, we'll remove all the information about the original movie ("Back to the Future") from the page and replace it with information about the new movie ("The Empire Strikes Back"). Right now, the <h1> element has the title of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that instead displays the title of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the <h1> tags and the year intact.)

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

?>


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

<table>

Hey Simingaye,

You're on the right track, but there are a couple of things.

  • First, you missed the closing PHP tag inside of the <h1> tags.

  • Second, you didn't delete all the old information that was there (you missed deleting the date).

Below is the corrected line for your review. I hope it all makes sense. :)

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

Hie Jason I'm not winning which old part am I meant to delete?

The original line that was provided is

<h1>Back to the Future (1985)</h1>

So, you just delete everything between the opening and closing <h1> tags.

<h1></h1>

Now you place the php code to display the title from the array

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

Your code was correct once you removed the space after $movie and before ['title'], but you had left in the "(1985)".

:) :dizzy:

wow thanks a lot i was stuck :)
