PHP PHP Basics Daily Exercise Program String Manipulation

I am on task 3 of 3 on the PHP basics challenge. I can't seem to figure it out! :/

Could you clarify what the task is asking me to do?

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

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

echo $fullname;
?>

In theory, your code would work. However, i think they want you to use concatenation.

Something like this...

$someVariable = "Josh";
$someVariable2 = "Homme";
$someVariable3 = $someVariable . " " . $someVariable2;
echo $someVariable3 . " is the lead singer of 'Queens of the Stone Age'" . "\n";
