Can't seem to display the answer right

<?php

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

That is the code I have and having issues understanding where to put the ' or " to get it to display Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP.

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';
?>

You need to wrap your code within double quotes. 

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