Not sure what I am missing in combing variables here.

I need to combine the first and last name to make a full name.

index.php 
<?php

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

The error states you are missing a space. The correct full name is 'Rasmus Lerdorf' but you have 'RasmusLerdorf'

Yes, but Iā€™m not sure how to create that space.

You can create a space with quotes ' ' with a space between. Then concatenate that with periods like you have above.
