Treehouse TeacherHi, Joshua! There are a couple of reasons why this isn't passing.
- You've misspelled the name of the variable to be echoed as
ullnameinstead offullname - You're repeating Rasmus Lerdorf in the string, but that is located in the variable
fullname - It's not absolutely necessary to use concatenation here. If you use double quote around the entire string to be echoed it will expand the variable to reveal the value.
- If you do use concatenation, you will have to rework the newline character that you've included in its own separate string.
I hope you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck!
