To make you understand concatenation of strings

I changed the quiz a little to hopefully be more clear. This code challenge is to make sure that you understand string variables, escape characters and concatenation.

$fullName should continue to equal "Rasmus Lerdorf"

$fullName = $firstName .' '. $lastName;

For the final step you should use the $fullName variable to display the string "Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP." with a new line character at the end.
