Hi,
Task is asking that I echo the data from an array within brackets, it appears to not be working any way that I try putting the brackets, any ideas to fix this? See my code below:
<?php $movie = array(); $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back"; $movie["year"] = 1980;
?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]; ?> ( <?php echo $movie["year"]; ?> ) </h1>
Thanks,
Adam

It looks like you have added spaces around the year that you are echoing out.
Your output is going to look like this ( 1980 ) instead of this (1980)

<?php $movie = array('title' => "The Empire Strikes Back", 'year' => 1980); ?>
<?php echo $movie['title']; ?> (<?php echo $movie['year']; ?>)

It's ok to add elements the way Adam has done. That part passes the challenge correctly.
