Hey there,

I feel you have maybe misread what Task #3 is asking for. For Task #2

<?php

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

This code does not get altered. Task three wants you to use the $fullname variable to "display the following string to the screen", so you would use the echo method.

So, don't alter the code from Task #2, but instead, Task #3 needs a whole other line of code. :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
