980 PointsProblem - Use of escape charatcer to add new line to the end of the string
Somehow it shows error after "checking work" but in text editor with exactly the same code it adds a new line at the end of the string when I display it
Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP.

Am I missing something?
Thx in advance
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
$fullname = $fullname . ' was the original creator of PHP.';
$fullname = $fullname . "\n";
echo $fullname;
?>

two main things: the third challenge is asking to display the sentence, so you should use echo, instead of creating a string in variable... You have also changed the content of $fullname, there should be firstname and lastname only. If you change the variable, then the second tasks of challenge is no longer correct...
Second thing is small typo, there is no dot 'was the original creator of PHP' at the end of the sentence...
Bye

980 PointsHi Daniel! I guess I need to pay more attention to what's written in tasks and not trying to figure out something special and complicated where everything should be simple. Thx ..i was able to solve the challenge.
