Why am I getting an error?

I got up to task 5 of the challenge and said task 3 is no longer passing. So I went back to task 3 and it says this: 

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. Preview Recheck work

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

What have I done wrong?

Jarrod, the code challenge is giving you an error because you put a space between the end of the year and the closing parentheses. You have this:

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

and it needs to be this:

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

It does that a lot, task 3 is fine, it's task 5 where your problem is. But I would need to see your code in order to help you.
