String Manipulation

What it's wrong with this code ? I get this error "You have not used the correct spacing in your string"

<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;

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

?>

There's nothing wrong with your code. The string's fine.

Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP

You can try debugging few ways

  1. try deconstructing your code one by one.. for example , only echo firstname, ... then only lastname, then... try echo both.. or combine with other string, etc.
  2. make sure you have no other code beside these lines..

good luck
