I don't know what to do?!!

When I reassign the full name variable task 2 is no longer passing and when I change it I get "you didn't you the full name variable"

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
$fullname .= " was the original creator of PHP\n";
echo $fullname;
?>

You're close! You should be adding the rest of the message in the $fullname variable, though.

You aren't supposed to add on the message to the variable. You just need to concatenate when echoing, like this:

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

I hope this helps :grin:

Good luck coding :sparkles: :+1: :sparkles:
