Hi Rebecca, right now I don't know how you can get to that part of the challenge if you actually have the first steps wrong, the major problem with your code is that you ended all the parts of the associative array with a semicolon and they must be ended with a comma.

Also you made a little mistake in the <h1> tag, the eco of the movie year should be inside the parenthesis not outside, otherwise you'll be printing "The Empire Strikes Back (1985) 1980"

here is how the code should look

<?php

$movie = [
'title' =>"The Empire Strikes Back", // comma added to the end of the value
'year' => "1980",
'director' => 'Irvin Kershner',
"imdb_rating" => "8.8",
"imdb_rating"=> "11"
];
?>

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"];?>(<?php echo $movie ["year"];?>)</h1> <!-- echo is now inside of the parenthesis -->

<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>

hope this help you!
