PHP Challenge - use $fullName to display Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP.

When I preview it, it looks right, but I keep getting "Bummer!"

index.php 
<?php
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' .  $lastName;
echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP.\n";
?>

Hi Sheryl,

Everything is correct, but the challenge is being super picky. In your string, you have a period at the end, and in the instructions, the string does not. ... like I said, super picky.

Just delete the period in your string and the challenge passes.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
