I don't understand why I'm receiving an error that it doesn't detect the director being within a <td> element

it looks just like all the other arrays being printed out while inside the <td> element and appears to be working on the preview page as well.

index.php 
<?php 
$movie = ["title"=>"The Empire Strikes Back",
         "year" => 1980,
         "director" => "Irvin Kershner",
         "imdb_rating" => 8.8,
         "imdb_ranking" => 11];
?>

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"];?> Back to the Future <?php echo $movie["year"];?>(1985)</h1>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Director</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["director"];?>Robert Zemeckis</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Rating</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_rating"];?>8.5</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_ranking"];?>53</td>
  </tr>
</table>

all good, now that you have made it dynamic in between the <td>, you have forgotten to take the static pieces in between the <td> Robert Zemeckis, 8.5, 53
