What's wrong with my code?

I am getting the following error message:

Bummer: Did you assign a value to the "title" key?

index.php 
<?php
$movie = array();
$movie[101] = ["title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"];
?>
<h1>Back to the Future (1985)</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 Fred Young,

If you are on step-2 of this challenge you'll only need to add 

<?php
$movie = ["title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"];

You were super close so keep up the great work and happy coding!

Without knowing how the data is supposed to be structured I could be off here... but I think these options might help:

<?php
// If title is a top level key
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";

// If the top level key is 101 (as an ID or something)
$movie[101] = array("title" => "The Empire Strikes Back");
