You only need two PHP blocks here - one that contains the array, and another that echoes out the title. Also, you'll edit the existing h1 element, no need to create a new one.

It might help to restart the challenge and redo it with the above in mind.

Let me know if this helps here

Hi.

I restarted the challenge and attempted the task with two PHP blocks, and I used the existing h1.

It worked. Thank you!
