String combine of PHP basic

I think this code below is correct,but every time i check this task 2, i got this error message. $$fullname does not seem to use $firstName and $lastName

I don't know what's going on.

Here is my source code.

<?php

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

$fullname = $firstName. $lastName. "\n";

?>

index.php 
<?php

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

$fullname = $firstName. $lastName. "\n";



?>

Hi Ryota,

You forgot to add a space in between the $firstName and $lastName variables. Try using the following code

$fullname = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
