I just don't know why the editor keeps saying that task 2 is no longer passing for some reason. I have been racking by brain and testing me nerves for two days on this code. I have tried copying other peoples work that have strangely worked for them but never for me... Please help on this!!!!
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName. ' ' .$lastName.' '.' was the original creator of PHP.' . "\n";
echo $fullName.' '."was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>

Step one:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
?>
Step two:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
?>
Step three:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
echo $fullName . " was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>
As you can see you assigned the whole string to variable $fullName - that's why the task n.2 was no longer passing. Then you echoed out two strings instead just one.
