Problem with this code challenge

Hello All,

I am having a little issue with the code challenge at Stage 4 "Listing Inventory Items" from PHP development.

I only need to display the title of the new movie from the array shown below between the <h1> tags. I think the code its fine but the site tells me there is something not correct and ask me to double-check the parentheses and the year.

Is there something I am missing? maybe I don´t understand what needs to be done?

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

Thanks

Carlos,

Went through the code challenge and the question is to REPLACE the movie title. The code you written which uses arrays are associative arrays which uses the '=>' operator, to link to the array keys. You would need to:

  1. Create an associative array.
  2. Replace the title of static movie text ("Back to the Future") by calling the array.

The below code should get you through hope this helps! ;)

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

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> (1985)</h1>

Could you post the question? From your script it would seem the following would be displayed :

Back to the Future (1985)The Empire Strikes Back

Looks kinda wrong. Hope this helps.
