The Question/Task: By the end of this code challenge, we'll REMOVE from the page all the information about the original movie ("Back to the Future") 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, the parentheses, and the year intact.)
My Code:
<?php
$movie = array();
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"] (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>
Something to do with the (1985) can't figure it out though.

1,021 PointsThe "(1985)" isn't part of the PHP code, so it shouldn't be in there. You can simply move it outside the ending ?> bracket and it will work, like this:
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (1985)</h1>
The ; should go at the end of your PHP command, in this case the echo command. If you put it after the (1985) then it thinks that it is part of the PHP code, which is isn't, yet!
