799 PointsI've tried several approaches: such as echo $fullName . " additional verbiage"; $fullName .= ' additional verbiage';
I've tried variations on the theme. Putting the string concatenation on the same line as the echo or not. I keep getting syntax error, unexpected [whatever] on line 7. Kinda stuck. Thanks for your help.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName
$fullName = $fullName . ' was the original creator of PHP.';
echo $fullName . "\n";
?>

- the line where you create $fullName doesn't have a semicolon at the end
- in the last step you should use $fullName, but not change it when you echo the sentence

$firstName = 'Rasmus';
$lastName = 'Lerdorf';
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;
echo $fullName . " was the original creator of PHP.\n";
?>
On the last task you were asked to use the $fullName to display the message to the screen, not to reassign the value of it, and then display.
