Problem on platform when giving right answer.

My answer on Date Function has to be July 04, 2016. I use the code below but I still get an error for not using a built in function. What's my mistake here? echo Date('F d, Y'); It's exactly as the exercise asks for.

index.php 
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
echo Date('F d, Y');

?>

Hi Fotis,

The date function must start with a lowercase "d". 

echo date("F d, Y");

oh I thought that PHP was not case sensitive. Thanks a lot!
