I Am Concatenating To The Best Of My Ability.

Create a variable called fullName and assign it a value equal to the concatenation of the firstName variable, a space, the middleName variable, a space, and the lastName variable. 

<?php

$firstName = "Mike";
$middleName = "the";
$lastname = "frog";
echo $lastname . "\n";
$fullName = "fullName";  
echo "Mike " . $Mike;  "the " . $the; "Frog " . $Frog; 

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named ____";

?>

the values of the variables will be placed in the string where you put the variable name. for instance I could have some variables defined and concatenate them like so:

$hello = "Hello how";
$areYou = " are you?";
echo $hello . $areYou;

which would output Hello how are you?

also you only need a semicolon at the end of the statement, not after every variable name
