I am not sure what I am doing wrong anymore. I have watched the videos over and over again and have tried everything I think. This isn't even the code I finished off with I just can't figure it out. Can anyone explain what I need to do and how to understand what I am doing wrong. Thannks,
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
echo $fullname . 'was the oringinal creator of PHP' . "/n";
?>

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

7,888 PointsYeah I took some time away from the code challenge to get a clear mindset I changed my code to, echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP" . "/n"; and It's still not right. I believe I am suppose to use concatenation . because of some of the other answers I found on this challenge. Even when I do use interpolation I still somehow don't get it right. I asked one of the mods for a line of code just so I can see what I am doing wrong...
