Bummer! We don’t see the value of $movie[„imdb_rating“] within a <td> element.

I am wondering about this notification. This is my Code, i am not able to make it work :-(, thanks for your help! $movie = []; $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back"; $movie["year"] = 1980; $movie["director"] = "Irvin Kershner"; $movie["imdb_rating"] = "8.8."; $movie["imdb_ranking"] = "11."; ?> <h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>)</h1>

<table> <tr> <th>Director</th> <td><?php echo $movie["director"];?></td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Rating</th> <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_rating"];?></td> </tr> <tr> <th>IMDB Ranking</th> <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_ranking"];?></td> </tr> </table>

Ah ok i see! Well, it got lost obviously by copy and past, i guess if anything else is correct, the checking algorithm has his issues because it works also fine on my localhost. Thanks
