PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Listing Inventory Items Associative Arrays

Challenge Task 3 of 7

Challenge task 3 of 7 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.)

<h1><?php echo $moive["title"]; ?>(1985)</h1>
<?php
  $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"
);
?>
<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>

For the year you want to continue to use your $movie variable.

$movie["year"] not $year["year"]

Also, you've introduced an extra space between the left parenthesis and the year.

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>)</h1>

So there should be a space before the ( but no spaces around the year inside the parentheses.

Ok, I guess you figured out task 5?

I'm not sure I like this new feature where you can delete comments and answers. :)

Yes I did, but Thank you

Hi Andrew,

You need to define your array at the top first before you can use it in your <h1>

You have a typo with your $movie variable inside the h1 You spelled it $moive

Also, you have to maintain the space between the movie and the year.

<?php
  $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"
);
?>

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (1985)</h1>

I've put a space there right before (1985)

There is typo in your PHP statement - $movie is spelled incorrectly.

The following should be above the <h1> tag, i.e. the first php statement.

<?php
  $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"
);
?>

But that's not what the video showed me.. I don't think that will work..

It will work and I would consider it a best practice. You still have a typo, though. :)

By any chance do you see a typo, I'm getting so aggravated at some of these challengers ??

<h1><?php echo $moive["title"]; ?>(1985)</h1>

$moive should be $movie.
