12,937 PointsHow to concatenate in PHP
Challenge task 2 of 4 Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable. So i wrote this code and im getting the right output but i still see im getting this wrong?
<?php
$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$lastName = "Frog";
$fullName = $fullname. $firstName . "\n" . $middleName. "\n" . $lastName;
echo $fullName;
echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named ____";
?>```
and how to do you add code properly? Can some one give me an example.

<?php
$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$lastName = "Frog";
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $middleName . " " . $lastName;
echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named " . $fullName . "!";
?>

<?php $firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog"; $fullName = $fullname . $firstName . "\n" . $middleName . "\n" . $lastName; echo $fullName; echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named " . $fullName; ?>

If you look to the bottom right of the text box you will see something that says Markdown Cheetsheet. Also, there is a post here titled: Posting Code to the Forum by Dave McFarland. If you don't understand that maybe this will make sense: How to display code at Treehouse.
