PHP > Associative Arrays / code challange 3/7

Where is the second movie in the array that we are to display - confused. I've add a second movie, but that must be wrong.

Here is my code, but not really sure if this is what your asking for. Thanks. 

    <?php
    $movie = array(
    "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back",
        "second movie" => "\"Back to the Future\" (1985)"
        );
    ?>
    <?php echo "<h1>" . $movie["second movie"] . "</h1>"?>

some of my code is not displaying. In the second php block, there should be the opening and closing h1 tag between the quotes. Thanks Mark

Sorry for the confusion! When the code challenge starts, the file shows information for one movie: Back to the Future. Throughout the code challenge, we change it to show information about a different movie: The Empire Strikes Back.

Throughout the code challenge, I refer to Back to the Future as "the first movie" and The Empire Strikes Back as the second movie.

You aren't supposed to show information about two movies at the same time. The file will only ever show information for one movie. I'll take a look at re-wording the question to clarify this.

Does that help?

The code should just look like this after the step you are on:

    <?php
    $movie = array(
            "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"
        );
    ?>
    <h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (1985)</h1>

Thanks Randy. I just had the wrong movie. I move through the lessons as I have some free time, so I didn't remember the first, second movie reference in the previous task. It would be helpful to have all of the info needed in the code or in the directions. Thanks again, you do a great job!
