PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Listing Inventory Items Associative Arrays

Not sure what's wrong with my PHP?

Here's the current context for the code challenge I'm stuck on:

"Right now, the <h1> element has the year of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that INSTEAD displays the year of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the parentheses intact.)"

Here's the error I'm receiving:

"Oops! It looks like Task 3 is no longer passing."

And here's my code: 

<?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>

here is your issue:

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

the parenthesis will be rendered as ( 1980 ) instead of (1980). so you just need to remove the space from inside like this:

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