1,650 PointsI found this to work well:
<?php
$firstName = "Rasmus";
$lastName = "Lerdorf";
//Create a third variable named fullName that combines the $firstName and $lastName variables to make the string Rasmus Lerdorf.
$fullName = $firstName . " " . $lastName;
// 1) Use the $fullName variable
// 2) Display the following string to the screen.
// Rasmus Lerdorf was the original creator of PHP.
// 3) Use an escape character to add a newline to the end of the string.
echo $fullName . " " . " was the original creator of PHP. \n";
?>
