PHP code gives the correct output, but when checking the work it says it is incorrect.

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

?>

Output is: Today is January 25, 2019

Checking the task returns:

Bummer: You have not passed the correct string for formatting. Your date SHOULD return: January 25, 2019

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

?>

Also remove the "\"

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