Can not figure out what is wrong with my code

It saying i need to add a space between the first and last name but I dont know how to do that.

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName .= $firstName;
$fullName .= $lastName;


?>

Try this:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . $lastName;


?>

You must concatinate the two variables into the fullName variable as above.

I tested this out and it worked fine!

The code I pasted in here works fine for me in the teamtreehouse compiler. Can you post your code as well as the error you are getting so I can help more?
