Associative Arrays Challenge #3

My Code looks like this:

<?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>

Can you tell me what's wrong with my php command, I tried moving the semi-colon to different spots, but nothing seems to help.

It helps to give us where you encountered the problem. Can you please post which lesson this is from exactly? It's important to know which lesson, because different lessons provide different ways to do the same thing.

Haven't written PHP in a while, but I'm pretty sure this works.

PHP:

<?php $movie = array( "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back", "title_two" => "The Matrix"); ?>
<?php echo 'I have never seen ' . $movie['title'] . ', but I have seen ' . $movie[title_two] ?>

Output:

I have never seen The Empire Strikes Back, but I have seen The Matrix

Which lesson though? I see the the post title is "Associative Arrays Challenge question 3" but, is it in:

LIBRARY > PROGRAMMING > INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING > OBJECTS AND ARRAYS

or

LIBRARY > PROGRAMMING > BUILD A SIMPLE PHP APPLICATION > CREATING THE MENU AND FOOTER

or

Something else...

Sorry, it just makes it easier to know exactly which lesson you're having trouble on. Thanks
