Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like I've followed the instructions to a tee but cannot pass. Am I doing something wrong? See below:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = "$firstName " . "$lastName " . 'was the original creator of PHP' . "\n";
echo $fullName;
?>

8,796 PointsHey Bryce,
Thanks for that. I played around with this earlier yesterday and figured it out as well. I believe the issue was that I did everything under the one variable, instead of concatenating and then appending the extra text afterwards like you said:
$fullName = "$firstName " . "$lastName";
echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP \n";

$fullName = "$firstName " . "$lastName";
echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP \n";
