It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing.

Question

Don't know what I am missing, and instruction are not really clear. Does it have to be 'Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP' or simply Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP.

index.php

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;

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

echo $fullname;

?>

Hey Leonardo,

First off, always ignore the "It looks like Task # is no longer passing," and always resist the urge to click "Go To Task #"

This is a very misleading error, but almost always means you have a syntax error on the current task you are working on.

In this case, it's a couple of things. First, you need to echo out the sentence to the screen, but you are trying to re-assign the string back to the $fullname variable (which is where the syntax error is).

Second, no, you don't need the quotes in the string. In the Instructions, it just puts into quotes what it wants you to echo.

So, the line you are needing is below for your reference. Have a look, and I hope it makes sense!

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

Keep Coding! :)
