Challenge 3 of 3 will not accept correct answers! I have input 3 different ways I know are correct and it will not work.

I have input 3 different ways of answering question 3 of 3 and it keeps telling me to back to task two (but task two passes).

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullname = $firstName . ' ' . $lastname;

echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>

Maybe getting rid of the extra newline (the "\n" part of your final string) will help out :)

I'm not sure if this will help, but you can try. If it does, good luck to you :smile:

PHP will automatically add that to the end of a string :)

That means this might work:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullname = $firstName . ' ' . $lastname;

// Here I got rid of the extra \n after the word PHP
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP";
?>

Good luck! Have fun learning programming. :)

Hope this helps! ~Alex
