You have a couple of little errors that are throwing you off.
The $fullname
variable should be made via concatenation of the $firstName
and $lastName
with a space between the two. e.g. $fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
When it comes to echoing out the full string of the last task you need to use the $fullname
variable you created inside double quotes. e.g. echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n";
I have placed the full code below to get you on your way again :)
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>
Hope this helps.
Craig
