Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable.
<?php
$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$lastName = "Frog";
$fullname =
echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named ____";
?>

For the challenge all we really need to do is use . ' ' . twice, once between $firstName and $middleName, and again between $middleName and $lastName.
See the below.
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $middleName . ' ' . $lastName;
Happy coding!
