961 PointsThink this is a bug.. Code keeps failing but works fine in the workspace:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXERCISE: 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" . " was the original creator of PHP" ." \n";
?>
``` Ive tried to "echo" the string too since it says "display to screen" and still wont work

9,453 PointsIt is looking for you to first combine the first name with the last name
<?php
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
Then use $fullName in echoing out your string
<?php
echo $fullName . " was the original creator of PHP\n";
