In the case of this challenge, we need to $firstName and $lastName to create the $fullName variable. Instead of writing the strings out manually which isn't concatenation, we need to use these variables to join the names together with a space.
To achieve this we need to accomplish the following:
- Introduce a string between our variables to create a space;
- Prepend and append our
$firstNameand$lastNamevariables
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
?>
Here we can see we take our variables and concatenate them with a string containing only a space which would result in: Rasmus Lerdorf.
NOTE: You also had a typo in $fullName, the letters a and m were in the wrong order.
Happy coding!
