Question on task 3 is unclear. Clear as complete mud.

States to add an escape character, but multiple attempts which are technically correct are displayed as incorrect.

Hi Oli,

You have to add the escape character to break a new line. you use the \n for that, right after the line given, with no space. Try this code below.

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