Cannot figure out Task for PHP Basics. It is outputting correctly but when I "Check code" it says I forgot the echo.

I cannot get past this Challenge Task. When I look at my code output preview it is bringing up today's date correctly and in the format that is requested in the task. However, when I check to code, it keeps saying "Bummer! looks like you forgot the echo command". It is clearly there though. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.

index.php 
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
$month = date('F');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');
echo "$month $day, $year";
?>

I think this question is expecting to print the values on the fly, using the date function, and not saving into variables.

<?php
echo "Today is ";
//Place your code below this comment
/*$month = date('F');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');*/
//echo $month. " " . $day. ", ". $year;
echo date('F d, Y')

?>
