That is also correct, so let's use your answer. Mooketsi Alister Manyuna, be sure to add the period before the \n as well. Way to go, Zimri Leijen!

Please mr Hulet help me to solve question 3 i tried so many times but failed.

This took me much longer than it should've but this worked:

<?php

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