31,249 PointsYou're close Chris, but if you double check the date documentation 'M' outputs a "short textual representation of a month" (the first three letters) rather than the full name of the month shown in the challenge.
Once you've corrected that, make sure to remove the date function from Line 2 and just echo out the date function on Line 4 to avoid potential errors.
