Problem with task

I have some problem with this task, when I check the program tells me that "It looks like Task 2 is not longer passing" I tried different option, but it doesn't work(((

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";
?>

It doesn't want you to overwrite the value of $fullname. It wants you to output the complete sentence to the screen. eg:

<?php
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = "$firstName " . $lastName;
echo $fullname . " was the original creator of PHP\n";
?>

Overwriting $fullname will mess with the challenge verification code.
