I dont understand... i think it's a bug. Error message: We dont see a value of $movie["director"] within a <td> element

index.php 
<?php
  $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back",

    "director" => "Irvin Kershner",
    "imdb_rating" => 8.8,

Szabolcs, the challenge editor can be very picky at times. It didn't like the fact that you had put <?php echo $movie["director"]; ?> on a separate line from the td start and end tags, or had left spaces before and/or after the php tags and the start or end tags for the rating and the ranking. The following, with the tds on one line and no spaces works:

<?php
  $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back",
    "year" => 1980,
    "director" => "Irvin Kershner",
    "imdb_rating" => 8.8,
    "imdb_ranking" => 11
  );
?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (<?php 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>
  </tr>
</table>
