Mohamad;

A couple of things here. First, the challenge isn't expecting you to set and utilize variables. Instead, we just need to echo the properly formatted date after the code comment.

Also, double check your date formatting versus what is being requested by the challenge instructions. Right now your F-d-Y format would produce February-08-2018, for example.

Post back if you are still stuck.
