Which task are you on?

Here's some info on how to properly post code in the forums: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

Your html has been stripped out so it's hard to know exactly what you have.

Hi Ceasar,

Your code passes all the way through task 3. So unless you've done something to the html it should be passing.

What error message do you get?

I would recommend you add a semi-colon at the end of $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back" Technically the closing php block will end that statement for you but when you add another statement after that one you will have problems if you don't remember to put the semicolon in.

Thanks for fixing your code block.

As Colin mentioned, it's the extra spaces you have. I couldn't see this when the html was stripped out.

In your h1 tag you have spaces before and after the title/year. Get rid of those.

This is the task:

By the end of this code challenge, we'll REMOVE from the page all the information about the original movie ("Back to the Future") and REPLACE it with information about the new movie ("The Empire Strikes Back"). Right now, the <h1> element has the title of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that INSTEAD displays the title of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the <h1> tags, the parentheses, and the year intact.)

This is the error : Bummer! It looks like the title of the second movie is in the <h1>, but something else isn't quite right. Double-check the parentheses and the year.
