Don`t know why it isn't echo-ing the value of $movie["director"] please help!

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-basic-php-website/listing-and-sorting-inventory-items/associative-arrays-2

index.php 
<?php 
  $movie = array();
  $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
  $movie["year"] = '1980';
  $movie["director"] = "Irvin Kershner" ;
  $movie["imdb_rating"] = "8.8" ;
   $movie["imdb_ranking"] = "11" ;// direct set on key
 ?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"];
          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>

The problem is related to how the challenge parsed the information for the movie director. If you remove the space after the closing PHP bracket you will pass the challenge.

<td><?php echo $movie["director"] ; ?></td>

Hope this helps.
