First, add a PHP code block above the HTML that creates an empty PHP array named $movie.

I added the PHP code block to create an empty array for $movie

$movie = array();

but it's erroring out telling me I didn't create the variable correctly

index.php 
<? php 
$movie = array();
?>

<h1>Back to the Future (1985)</h1>

  <tr>
  <th>IMDB Rating</th>
  <td>8.5</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
 <td>53</td>
  </tr>
    </table>
?>

Remove the space between ? and php. Your variable declaration is correct.
