What is wrong with my code? It gives error "We don't see the value of $movie["imdb_rating"] within a <td> element.".

I couldnt understand what is wrong with my code? I think I didnt do any mistake but, It gives error "We don't see the value of $movie["imdb_rating"] within a <td> element.".

index.php 
<?php
$movie = [];
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie["year"] = "1980";
$movie["director"] = "Irvin Kerschner";
$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>

Good job! This is more of a bad question problem. Earlier in the tasks they allowed you to add String values instead of numbers and pass. They really wanted numbers. Be sure to rate this problem and explain. Maybe provide a link to this forum post.

<?php
$movie = [];
$movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie["year"] = 1980;
$movie["director"] = "Irvin Kerschner";
$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>

Thank you very much. i changed strings with numbers and this time it gives error "We don't see the value of $movie["director"] within a <td> element." with the same code. i really didnt understand the problem..

<?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>

I can't read your code, but make sure there are no spaces between your <td> tags and php statement. I left one in my ranking cell.
