PHP Basic what is wrong ?

1) Use the $fullName variable to display the following string to the screen. Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP 2) Use an escape character to add a newline to the end of the string.

          <?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = "$firstName $lastName";

echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP\n";

?>
          ```

Hi Gustavo! You need to concatenate the variables and the fullname variable with the rest of the sentence. I'd watch the video again to see what you missed. I hope this helps!
