Hi Adnan! You are really close! You need to concatenate the variable with the string, so you are a little off.

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus' ;
$lastName = 'Lerdorf' ;
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
echo $fullName . " " . "was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>

I hope this helps!
