PHP website - Code challenge

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I tried separating the 2 echo statements, it shows when I go to the preview but still says it is incorrect.

index.php
<?php

$movie = [];
$movie = [
  "title" => "The Empire strikes back",
  "year" => 1980,
];

?>
<h1>
   <?php 
  echo $movie["title"] . $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>

Hi there borts!

You are really close! I found this one pretty tricky myself. If you look at the way the year is formatted before it was replaced with the php block, it looked like this.

Back to the Future (1985)

So you need to keep the parenthesis in your output so that it matches the way the title and year were originally displayed.

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

Hope this helps and happy coding! Heidi
