PHP Basics - Challenge Task 3 of 3

Challenge Task 3 of 3 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.

Here is my code.

<?php

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

Why does it not work?

1) Don't update $fullName with the additional text. Use that variable for task 3.

2) You are not displaying the text to the screen
