In the preview my code renders the correct sentence and date format but says I'm missing an echo command?

Can anyone show me what I am missing? Everything seems to render correctly on the preview?

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

?>

Apparently, the challenge expected you to concatenate the date function on the already wrote echo statement (disregarding the comment for 'place your code below'), like this :

<?php
echo 'Today is '. date('F d, Y');

?>
