Followed instructions I don't know what went wrong. Help please?

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 today's 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

index.php 
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date('July 04, 2016');
echo " " . $display_name . ". ";
echo "last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", getlastmod());
?>

Hey Nicholas,

All you should need is one command after the //Place your code below this comment comment. The format you'll need for the date function is F d, Y. Here's an example using a different format:

<?php

echo date('Y-m-d'); // 2017-10-11
