Hi Wazir,

I can see what you're trying here but it's not quite right.

You've got your $firstName and $lastName variable and correctly assigned them string values.

What you now need to do is declare a third variable in the same way as the first two. But you then need to assign the 2 variables to this new third variable

<?php

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

$fullName = $fullName . " " . $lastName;
?>

Then you'll probably need to find a way to display the values of all the variables. :-)
