PHP Associative arrays

I am not sure why my code can't be accepted: I am doing task 3 of 7 on building a basic PHP website.

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

echo "<h1>".$movie["title"]." (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>

okay you're on the right track, just just forgot a couple of things.

First you still need the h1 tags, remember what we are doing is dynamically adding data to the HTML not rewriting HTML. What you are doing is adding HTML as strings and not HTML. the syntax is correct for the array. If you you need an example please let us know.
