Here is the problem. "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"
and here is my code:
<?php
echo 'Today is '. date("F d, Y");
?>
What's wrong with my code?

5,965 PointsTechnically your code would work in real life, but the challenge wants you to put something specific in.
It wants you to type this:
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date("F d, Y");
?>

11,321 PointsHi, try to change the single qoutes to double quotes, like this:
change your code from ' Today is ' .date("F d, Y");
to this "Today is " .date("F d, Y");
than it should work. ;)
