Right now, the three <td> elements have information about the original movie as static pieces of text. Replace each of those with PHP commands that INSTEAD display information about the new movie from the array instead. (Be sure to leave the <td> tags intact.)

movie.php 
<?php 
$movie=array(
'title'=>'The Empire Strikes Back',
 'year'=>'1980',
  'director'=>'Irvin Kershner',
  'imdb_rating'=>'8.8',
  'imdb_ranking'=>'11'
);

?>

<h1><?php echo $movie['title'] ?> (<?php echo $movie['year'] ?>)</h1>

<table>
<tr>
<th>Director</th>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>IMDB Rating</th>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>IMDB Ranking</th>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

Here is the answer

<?php 
$movie=array(
'title'=>'The Empire Strikes Back',
 'year'=>'1980',
  'director'=>'Irvin Kershner',
  'imdb_rating'=>'8.8',
  'imdb_ranking'=>'11'
);

?>

<h1><?php echo $movie['title'] ?> (<?php echo $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>

Hi,

You would replace them in the same way you have replaced the h1 tag contents.

So, as an example:

<tr>
<th>Director</th>
<td>Robert Zemeckis</td>
</tr>

would now become:

<tr>
<th>Director</th>
<td><?php echo $movie['director']; ?></td>
</tr>

I'll leave the rest to you but hopefully that points you in the right direction.
