Hi Everyone! Just solved the problem in PHP, it appears exactly as requested on the preview, but got a Bummer.
<?php
$today = date("F d, Y");
//Place your code below this comment
echo 'Today is ' . $today ;
?>

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHi Jorge,
Yes, your code will produce the proper outcome (good job), but it is not the way the instructions asked you to do it. Challenges are very picky with the instructions and they must be followed exactly or you get the Bummer!.
Here, you modified the code that was preloaded. Throughout Treehouse courses, unless you are explicitly told to alter preloaded code... don't.
The challenge has a spot where it says to "Place your code below this comment", so it is expecting you to add on to the code. The challenge is expecting the original echo statement to remain there untouched, and for you to add another echo statement to add the date.
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date("F d, Y");
?>
Hope this helps.
Keep Coding! :)
