Remove the four underscores in the echo command and concatenate the remaining text with the variable $fullName.

<?php

$firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog";

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named" . " " . $fullName ; $fullName = $firstName . " " .$middleName . " " .$lastName;

?> this is what i got. what am i doing wrong?

You are pretty close with your answer there are a couple issues that you would need to address.

  1. Establish the fullName variable prior to the echo command
  2. After named you don't need to concatenate the space. You can simply add a space after the named before the quotes.

The code would look something like this:

<?php

$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$lastName = "Frog";
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $middleName . ' ' . $lastName;

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named " . $fullName;

?>

Hope that helps!

This is it.

<?php
$lastName = "Frog";
$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$fullName = "$firstName " . "$middleName " . $lastName;


echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named $fullName";

?>
