Troubles with Simple PHP Application Challenge task 3 about associative array

By the end of this code challenge, we'll REMOVE from the page all the information about the original movie ("Back to the Future") and REPLACE it with information about the new movie ("The Empire Strikes Back"). Right now, the <h1> element has the title of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that INSTEAD displays the title of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the <h1> tags, the parentheses, and the year intact.)

And i already wrote this below.

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

It doesn´t work. and i don't know what wrong? and this is link to a Challenge task (task 3) http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-php-application/listing-inventory-items/associative-arrays

I see the problem now. You need to move your php code block that contains the array to the top of your file. The way you have it written, you can not use $movie['title'] in the h1 tag because you have declare that variable yet or defined it. Cut and paste your php block and put it at the top of the file.

I believe the problem is that you don't have a space between the title and the year. Try this:

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