$value = $newValue1 . $newValue2 . "STRING value";
it should be :
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = $firstName. " " .$lastName;
echo $fullName;
?>

Instead of doing that second assignment of $fullName you should instead echo out the value of $fullName + "was the original creator of PHP.\n" - like this:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = "$firstName $lastName";
echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP.\n";
?>
