For $fullname variable, use concatenation to combine the two variables and don't forget to add a space in between $firstName and $lastName. Use the $fullname variable to replace Rasmus Lerdorf, use concatenation for the rest of the string, also adding the new line escape character at the end before you close the string.

Now you need to display those variables in the string. You need to concatinate. You don't need to write his name there, but put the variable, that's what variables are for, holding values.
I think you might want to re-watch the video. This is very basic. I'm not into PHP so can't tell you the syntax, but It will be good if you re-watch the video, and look at it again, usually people don't get it first time, and need to re-watch stuff. Heck I re-watched HTML Basics few times.
