Help with PHP assingment setting the date. Terminal says I'm right but if I check the task, it is said to be wrong

There are two issues, one caused by the code checker being stubborn about how the code should be laid out and one actually caused by your format string being slightly wrong.

The first issue is that this challenge does not want you to add the date directly to the first echo statement, but to instead add your own echo statement below it. You have to do this to complete the challenge, even though the resulting string won't look any different either way.

The second issue is caused by the fact that while your date formatting is very close to the requested format it is in fact not entirely correct. The code challenge states that the day is formatted as such: "day of the month with leading 0". Your formatted date does not have leading zeros for single digit days.

For days with a leading single digit you use d instead of j.

Fixing those two issues like this:

<?php

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

Will allow your code to pass the challenge.

Thank you! The d I indeed already figured out, and now I passed the assignment, thanks!
