What is wrong with this? <?php $movie = array(); $movie[] = ["title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"]; ?>

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

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

This code creates a new array and puts it inside the original array, but the challenge just wants you to add a single (string) element to the existing array.

or... $movie[]["title"] = "The Return of The Jedi"; ... here it depends if you intend to create a multidimnsional array.
