Doesn't display the right Value. I don't understand what i'm missing

in my browser i take the correct result. i don't know why it keeps saying that it's wrong in the code editor. any suggestions?

index.php 
<?php

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

?>

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

Found an extra set of single quotes which is redundant in your echo statement. This should solve the issue you are having.

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

Note: The double quotes will display the value for the variable $fullname when in used while single quotes will echo out the variable name as $fullname.
