Hello Juan,

Are you attempting to output this to a browser? If so, you'll want to use the line break HTML element instead of the escape character to get the effect you want.

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

echo 'test';
