I was not sure whether I should concatenate the movie title and the year

So I created an array with a movie title and year as keys, so in echoing the two keys in the same h1 tag, was I supposed to concatenate or echo them in separate php blocks?

While both might be correct, its great if I pass the quiz (getting a 'bummer' each time )- this is the third time I'm retaking it . .

sigh....

movie.php 
<?php 
$movie = array();
$movie ["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back";
$movie ["year"] = 1980;
?>
<h1><?php echo $movie["title"];?><?php echo $movie["year"];?></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>

Hey Titius -

Yeah - if i remember correctly this one is really picky about syntax. Double check the question - i think you need the parentheses around the year - something like this :

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

Hope this helps !! kj
