Hi guys,
Having difficulty getting past the above code challenge (Task 1) Where am I going wrong? My code looks like this....
<? 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>
?>

<?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>```
