Preview looks good but it says there is a syntax error. Been at it for the last half hour.

The coding challenge question:

For this code challenge, you'll need to check out the documentation for the date function to see details about formatting. Use the date function to add todays date to the display message in the following format: full month, day of the month with leading 0, comma and 4 digit year. Example: Today is July 04, 2016

Any Ideas on what I did wrong?

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

It's just the space between e and ( that is causing the engine to not accept your answer.
