Code works in workspace but not challenge

How come?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;

echo $fullname, "\n";





?>

This was the code i needed to pass the challenge...

<?php

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

?>

It's kind of weird because it would only let me pass if i used concatenation on the linebreak. For example, this would not pass...

echo $fullname . " was the original creator of PHP\n";

Here is a working example https://www.tehplayground.com/7D8FJEOoVEziK5tt

Hope that helps :thumbsup:
