Hi Mustafa, the code you wrote should work but because you assigned the whole sentence to variable $fullName you failed the challenge, here is the code that passes the challenge:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
echo $fullName . " was the original creator of PHP \n";

?>

many thanks
