Date and time - What's wrong?

It seems to be working, but just not on this exercise?

I would like to know why.

Thanks for the help!

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$today = date("F d, Y");
echo "Today is $today";



?>

Hi Brane,

Try echo date("F d, Y"); after their echo. With challenges you have to more or less do it 100% to the way they request even though there are other methods/ways to do it.

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

Thanks for the tip. This was driving me crazy, the only difference from my code to yours was I used single quotes for the date function.
