What do I do wrong in the PHP basics Strings code task 3?

Tried this:

<?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; ?>

and this:

<?php

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

Doesnt work!

index.php 
<?php

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

Try to remove the whitespace between PHP and \n and your code should pass the challenge.

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

Happy Coding! :)
