Makes me go to the previous task, but when I "check" the previous one it says "Well Done"
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
$fullname.= " was the original creator of PHP";
echo $fullname."\n";
?>

You have Task one correct, but how you achieved the final output in not what the challenge is looking for.
You do pretty much have it, but the Task wants you to use the $fullName variable to echo out string. So, instead of concatenating the variable to the string and echoing the new variable, use the variable inside the echo statement.
I don't usually give the answer, but your code is technically correct, so I will provide what the challenge is expecting for you to see. Keep in mind, though, how picky challenges can be. :)
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n"
?>
Keep Coding!
