Your code looks good, but if this is a task during a tracks maybe you should look into white characters between 'creator' and 'of'?

PS I used http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/ to test your code.

It's looking for newline in the form of an escape character, '\n':

echo $fullname . " was the original creator of PHP\n";
