What is wrong with my code?

I am trying to create an empty associative array named $movie but it is not accepting it.

index.php 
<?php
$movie = array();

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

you need to end the code block. eg.

<?php
$movie = array();

//the following line signals to php that what follows is not to be processed.
?>
<h1>Back to the Future (1985)</h1>
