  $firstName = 'Rasmus';
  $lastName= 'Lerdorf';
  $fullname = "$firstName $lastName";
  $string = $fullname . ' was the original creator of PHP' . "\n";

It doesn't like that you are assigning your string to a new variable and then echoing that variable. If you just echo the concatenation, you'll pass just fine :)
