Hey Walter,

The error your code generates is:

"Bummer! It looks like you forgot to add a space between the first and last name"

:D

This code will pass:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";

?>

Or, if you want use concatenation, you could use this:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullname = "$firstName" . " $lastName";

?>

Good luck with the course!
