It's a little harsh as there's not much technically wrong with what you've written.

Try concatenating the whole string into one line and don't worry about using quotes for your output string. :p-)

<?php

//Place your code below this comment $firstName ="Rasmus"; $lastName = "Lerdorf";

echo $fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName . " was the original creator of PHP\n";

?>

Good luck :)

Thanks. It worked. I was experimenting to get the output and the Quotes :-(
