it seems okay with:

<?php

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

$fullName = "$firstName $lastName";

echo "$fullName was the original creator of PHP\n";

?>

This has a slightly different output. But what it wants for any given challenge depends on the precise method that particular challenge code tries to use to verify (running and looking for output, testing for particular text in your code).
