what is my error?

Hi, the compiler says that it doesn't find the imdb_rating in the table but I included it my code and I can see it in the preview. I don't know where my error is. This is the link to the challenge (problem at the 7/7): https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-basic-php-website/listing-and-sorting-inventory-items/associative-arrays-2

thanks.

index.php 
<?php 
  $movie = [];
  $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
  $movie["year"] = 1980;
  $movie["director"] = "Irvin Kershner";
  $movie["imdb_rating"] = 8.8;
  $movie["imdb_ranking"] = 11;

      ?>



<h1><?php echo $movie["title"]. " (". $movie["year"]. ")"?></h1>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Director</th>
    <td> <?php echo $movie["director"] ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Rating</th>
    <td> <?php echo $movie["imdb_rating"] ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
    <td> <?php echo $movie["imdb_ranking"] ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

The information you entered in the array on part 7 needs to be a string, so it needs to be in speech marks. That should fix it.

<?php
$movie = [];
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie["year"] = "1980";
$movie["director"] = "Irvin Kershner";
$movie["imdb_rating"] = "8.8";
$movie["imdb_ranking"] = "11";
?>

<h1><?php echo $movie["title"] . $movie["year"] ?></h1>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Director</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["director"] ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Rating</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_rating"] ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
    <td><?php echo $movie["imdb_ranking"] ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>
