php

it's because of the "\n" part you are including at the end. In order for that to be added on you would need to do the following:

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

Then after all of that you should end up with something that looks along the lines of:

<?php
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

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

echo $fullName;
?>

Hello Kingdavid,

If you're trying to print the following variable but are getting errors then I here is the solution to do just that.

<?php
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';

$fullName = $firstName . $lastName .'was the original creator of PHP';

echo $fullName;
?>

Sorry if this is not exactly what you're after, but that is how you would echo the values correctly without getting errors when combining other variables and strings into one variable.

I am still getting this error message

Bummer: syntax error, unexpected '" \n"' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in index.php on line 7

<?php

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

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

echo $fullName; ?>

Hi David,

Regarding your latest comment, you'd need to do:

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

Note the . between the string and the \n.
