String Manipulation code challenge Task 3

Not sure why the third step is not passing. I am supposed to take the variable $fullname which is a concate of $firstName and $lastName variables and add an additional string "was the original creator of PHP." with a line escape and display the final variable $fullname. What am I missing?

index.php 
<?php

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

?>

Hey this works fine - only thing is you need to add a space before the " was the original..."

I'd send a screenshot but you can test it yourself on something like: http://phptester.net

Thanks Patrick, I have tried multiple ways to get this to pass and I could have sworn I accounted for that space, maybe not just in the posted code sample. It is always the little things.
