Trouble with the code challenge

I'm having trouble with a code challenge, how do i write this code?

Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable.

I've named the variable correctly but I'm stuck on how to get the spacing right and I have re-watched the video 6 times already, please help

Hi Phillip,

Could you post the code you tried so far?

sure, this is what I've tried:

$fullName =""; $fullName = $fullName . "$firstName: " . "$middleName: " . "$lastName: ";

Ok i see the problem, 

<?php

$fullName = $fullName . " " . $firstName . " " . $middleName . " " .$lastName;

?>

Try it like this.
