How to add single quote inside a double quote and output as a string?

Since the challenge task 3 require to output the result start with single quote and end with single quote. I did use double quote to actually wrap the single quote inside but in the end its say task 2 is not passing? I know there should be something went wrong but I couldnt find it. Thanks in advanced.

index.php 
<?php
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName; 
$fullname = "'" . $fullname . " was the original creator of PHP '" . "\n" ;  


//Place your code below this comment

Hey WK h,

The challenge doesn't require you to output the single quotes around the output. And pay attention when to use single or double quotes.

This is the answer if you're curious!

<?php

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

$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";

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