Stalled at Challenge - Can't find what's wrong

I can't see what is wrong with this code related to the challenge:

<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
echo '\'' . $fullname . ' was the original creator of PHP.' . '\''. "\n";
?>
index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
echo '\'' . $fullname . ' was the original creator of PHP.' . '\''. "\n";

?>

Hi David, You are doing great, you just don't need those single quates at the begining and end, and there shouldn't be dot at the end of the sentence. "creator of PHP".

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

Thank you -- the period at the end of the line was what was catching me. Thanks so much.
