Treehouse TeacherHi there! Something about that is confusing the challenge, but there's nothing technically wrong with it from what I can tell. If I move everything onto the same line (without actually changing the code), it works. That being said, you are over-complicating things here a bit with some unnecessary concatenation. Also, the challenge does not ask for you to echo the results at this time. The same thing could be accomplished with:
$fullName = "$fullName $lastName";
Remember, using double quotes causes the values of the variables to be expanded in place.
Hope this helps!
