//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
$fullname = "'$fullname was the original creator of PHP'\n";
echo $fullname;
?>```
task 2 was to create the fullname variable, then in task 3 it says that it is no longer passing.
It looks right to me in the preview but there is something I am missing
```index.php
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
$fullname = "'$fullname was the original creator of PHP'\n";
echo $fullname;
?>

Hmm ... for some reasons, there's duplicate codes in the code you posted.
The problem is this line in your code
$fullname = "'$fullname was the original creator of PHP'\n";
In this particular line, the value of the $fullname variable written during part 2 was modified, that's the cause of part 2 failing to pass the grader check. You can solve the part 3 in one-line using ehco without the need of creating or modifying any variables.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
echo "$fullname was the original creator of PHP\n"
?>
Hope it helps.

the second task is no longer passing, because you have change the $fullname variable to contain text. Instead of this approach, try to use echo $fullname . "text";
