When I check this code in the workspace or if you look at it in preview is displays what it is ask, but it tells me that previous task is no good.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullname = "'$firstName $lastName";
$fullname = $fullname . " was the original creator of PHP' \n";
echo $fullname;
?>

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 23,916 PointsYou have two problems: 1st: first time you declare full name it's not done properly, it should be $var1 . " " . $var2 or "{$var1} {$var2}" 2nd: in the last task you are not meant to reassign the variable, that's why task2 won't parse then. You should output it with text: $var . "something" or "{$var} something"
