When naming keys you need to wrap the name of the keys in quotation marks. except when using just numbers

Example:

$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie["year"] = "1980";

At the end of step 3, the code is supposed to look like this:

<?php

$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>

We are creating an array with information about The Empire Strikes Back in it, and we are replacing the static text that displays the information from Back to the Future with information from this array.

Does that help?
