Hi Alan Jeronimo ,

I guess you're in step 2 of the challenge, right?

If so, you're not doing bad at all. Still you're not being requested to echo nothing out yet. And you're using double quotation marks, which makes it possible to concatenate the values of $lastName in an even more succinct and efficient way. If you can check it now, if it still feels strange, check next paragraph.

You can concatenate them like this (as long as you use double quotation marks):

<?php

$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullName = "$firstName $lastName";

Thank you very much my friend, it worked!!

Yes it had not required (echo) yet but I was using it bc it was saying I was doing it wrong and I was trying to figure it out.

One more time, Thank you!
