Can some one help me find out what's wrong with this code?

when i reach task 3 i get an error telling me that task one is wrong. but as i go back to task 1 there's no problem at all :/

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName;

echo "$fullName as 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";

?>

You can write a variable directly into the string.

Hope this helped.

Regards.
