I used the correct format

it says i didnt use the correct format to date("F j, Y") but on preview the output looks fine Task is to displaz time like this Example: Today is July 04, 2016

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

Hi Davor Rapic,

You are almost there, you just need to use d instead of j. The difference is that j will output 1, 2, 3, 4... and d will output 01, 02, 03, 04... and the tasks asks for specific format Today is July 04, 2016. I hope it helps:)
