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

Did you leave the year in the parentheses after the closing php tag? Also, I would have specified the key=>value pair in the array e.g. <?php $movie = array("title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"); ?>
I'm no expert, but I hope that helps.
Cheers

1,025 PointsHey, Thomas
I WIll give it a try, thanks for the replay , and its the same things to do it like e.g. $movie[title] = "The empire stikes back" right ?

Courses Plus Student 8,216 PointsHey, Reshard
Sure! You can create an array key => value pair that way, too.
I think for the purposes of the exercise, judging by what you said you wrote, you've left out the year in the parentheses.
e.g. <h1><?php echo $movie["title"] ?> (1985)</h1>

1,025 PointsI finally got past that part now, im trying to add the key for the year after the title so heres my code... what am i doing wrong
<?php $movie = array( "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back", "year" => "1980", ); ?> <h1><?php echo $movie["title"] ?> <?php echo $movie"year"?> </h1>
Thomas Ireland
Courses Plus Student 8,216 PointsYou need to keep the parentheses and it looks like you missed the square brackets and semi-colon.. One way would be to write it like this:
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>)</h1>

1,025 PointsOk just typed what you did an still wont pass me !
Thomas Ireland
Courses Plus Student 8,216 PointsWeird. I just tested it and it was okay. Are you making sure you close the first PHP statement where you're echoing the title and writing the second statement inside of the parentheses? Make sure you haven't missed a semi-colon and have included the array key in the square brackets, too. I always miss stuff off like that and it's a pain to debug sometimes, even though it's so simple. :)
