Cannot find the problem:

<?php

$firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog";

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

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named " . $fullName . "!";

?>

You have a trailing " on $fullName. Try making it:

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

Try this

$firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog";

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

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named " . $fullName . "!";
