Need help with: "Add an element to the movie array with a key of "year" and a value of 1980."

Guys i need some help.I do not see how my code is wrong (maybe i'am missing something out) .But i get "Bummer! It looks like you don't have a "year" element in the $movie array." error. Here is my code:

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

Sometimes the code verification engine is a little finicky. Try adding it all on separate lines.

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

Here is my complete code, maybe check against this to see if you are doing something different. I think it's just something the code verification engine is messing up as your code looks correct.

<?php
$movie = array();
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie["year"] = 1980; 
$movie["director"] = "Irvin Kershner";
$movie["imdb_rating"] = 8.8;
$movie["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>

I copied your part of the code and it worked.Still can't spot the difference.I think you are right about code verification engine.Thanks a lot for your time and effort, you saved me! Wish you all the best. :)
