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

echo"(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>

movie.php
<?php 
$movie=["title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"];
?>


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

echo"(1985)"; ?></h1>

<table>
<tr>
<th>Director</th>
<td>Robert Zemeckis</td>
</tr>

Hi Vidit,

We leave the parenthesis and year alone in this part of the challenge and put title in parenthesis. The year and parenthesis are already in the HTML and don't need to be echoed through PHP, as this only slows the process down. Instead, you only need to output the movie title via PHP:

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

I think it's the:

<h1><?php echo $movie[title]; // It recognizes title as a constant

should be with quotes I guess:

<h1><?php echo $movie['title']; // Here it recognize it as a string
