Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing

PHP concatenating strings quiz.

This is my code

<?php

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

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

?>

Task one is the first two lines, Task two is the third line, and Task three is the last. This works when I see it in the preview using echo. But Task three always reverts to The above error

index.php
<?php

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

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

?>

Main issue is the .= "\n" for syntax, the other is the need to echo (display) the text:

<?php

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

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