The problem is in your fullName variable. It needs spaces. Right now your code would have the $fullName as MiketheFrog instead of "Mike the Frog". Take a look at my solution:

<?php

$title = "Dr.";
$firstName = "David";
$lastName = "Bowman";
$fullName = $title . " " . $firstName . " " . $lastName;


echo "The lead character from 2001: A Space Odyssey is named " . $fullName . "!";

?>

P.S. Changing the value of variables to names they didn't specify will cause the challenge to fail. You must use Dr. David Bowman.
