Hi Progress, you're pretty close here. The challenge is expecting the $fullName variable to have a value of Rasmus Lerdorf. In your code the $fullName variable ends up with a value of RasmusLerdorf, missing the space between the first and last name. You have the concatenation format correct but you're missing the space between the single quotes.
