How to add a multiple strings together?

I cannot add another string to my main string.

index.php 
<?php

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

$fullname  = "$firstName $lastName Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP \n" ;
?>

try

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

$fullname  =  $firstName . " ".$lastName;
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>

It uses the value of $fullName to test, so you can't reassign it.
