index.php 
<?php
$movie= array("title" => "The Empire Strikes Back",
                "year"=>"1980");
?>
<h1><?php 
  echo $movie["title"];
  echo " ".$movie["year"];
                ?></h1>

<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>

Hi! You can use one echo here ;)

<?php echo $movie["title"] . " " . $movie["year"]; ?>

nothing wrong with the code, your argument is correct, it is working, I think sometimes, which am not 100 percent sure of, the treehouse parser, does not align with additional white spaces try the below

<?php
$movie= array("title" => "The Empire Strikes Back",
                "year"=>"1980");
?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"];echo " ".$movie["year"];?></h1>

<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>
