Stuck in this challenge, however I'm sure it is fine

<?php

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

When I check for work in the third part of this challenge, I reveive this message: Oops! It looks like task 2 is no longer passing

Then I return to second task, recheck it and the move to next task, but is the same loop>

Please check it is a problem with my answer (above) Thanks

index.php
<?php

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

You don't need to define $fullName a second time, you just need to use it in the echo statement. You also don't need both echo statements.

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