Task 2 is no longer parsing?

I am using concatenation to achieve task 3 but it seems task 2 is not parsing. what does this mean?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
$fullName = "$firstName" . " $lastName" . "Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of php" . "\n";

?>

Where you supposed to include the person's name inside the last string? Try this: 

$fullName = “$firstName " . “ $lastName " . "was the original creator of php" . "\n";

Also add space at the end of you’re string Conca so that it doesn’t output this: RasmusLerdorfwas the original creator of php

Nop

<?php

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

?>

this is showing Oops! It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing.
