ive tried this a variety of ways, all work in the preview, but rejected by the code challenge, <?php echo 'Today is '; //Place your code below this comment $date = date('F d, Y'); echo $date; ?> I've also tried just echo('F d, Y'); as well, and variatios with spaces and none of it passes. please help, I'm pulling my hair out here

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

Hi Michael Culler,

Your answer is good, but it seems that challenge expects answer wihout storing your date in the variable.

<?php
echo date('F d, Y');
?>
