I don't know why the compiler won't accept my answer. Thanks.

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

You seem to have forgotten the variable name on the last line.

<?php

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