Date in PHP

I'm struggling with syntax, is there anyone who can help. The question is: 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

My Code is Below

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

?>

Hi Michael Lawinger, You are doing great, but it seems that this challenge wants your answer below comment //Place your code below this comment. So it would be something like that.

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

Cool, thanks, I didn't know that I needed separate echo statements.
