I don't think the "code challenge" is working properly. I have placed code in the answer section PRECISELY. itsnotwork

*Its not working at all and indicates the ()'s need to be checked. I included the plain text (1980) for reference.

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

?>

<h1>
<?php echo $movie["title"]; 
 ?> <?php echo $movie["year"];
?>
(1980)
 </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>

Hi Bryan,

You need to put the year inside the parentheses like this:

<?php $movie = array("title" => "The Empire Strikes Back", "year" => "1980"); ?>

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php echo $movie["year"]; ?>)</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>

This was correct. Thank you for your help. :) I thought I had previously tried this but was wrong.
