Hey Waqas,

Your code is almost right! Don't forget to add a space around the dots when concatenating. If you get that right the challenge will accept your answer. But when you preview the page there are no spaces between 'is' and $firstName and $lastName, I fixed that for you in the code below.

This is one of the right answers:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullname = 'The name of the teacher is ' . "$firstName $lastName.";
echo $fullname;
?>

Good luck coding!
