My error says "forgot new line break." If I place \n before the variable $fullName, I get an error

The assignment wants a new line to move forward. Do not know where I'd place it since placing it before the string $fullName does not work

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = $firstName." ".$lastName;
echo  $fullName." was the original creator of PHP.";
?>
