it says to add the was the original creator of php and make a new line and display it. below is what I last tried. I have tried many, many other possibilities which I think would've worked but wasn't as the quiz wanted.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment $firstName = "Rasmus"; $lastName = "Lerdorf"; $fullName = $firstName $lastName; echo $fullName . "was the original creator of PHP." . "\n"; ?>
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = $firstName $lastName;
echo $fullName . "was the original creator of PHP." . "\n";
?>

Treehouse TeacherHi there! When you assign the $firstName and $lastName to $fullName you didn't put them in quotes which is causing a syntax error. You need the expanded values of those variables to be assigned to $fullName:
$fullName = "$firstName $lastName";
Hope this helps!

2,971 PointsI tried that in many different ways and nothing. here is the quiz question 1) Use the $fullName variable 2) Display the following string to the screen. Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP. 3) Use an escape character to add a newline to the end of the string.
