PHP PHP Basics PHP on the Web Date Function

The preview is showing my answer as correct, I am using "F" in the date function but the exercise still requires it?

I've configured this a few different ways with both single and double quotes, concatenated, one statement, multiple properties in the function, properties singly in the function, etc. I just want to pass this course and I can't until I give this thing the correct right answer.

The error keeps reminding me to use the "F" property to produce the full text of the month. There it is. Help??

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

The answer has to be provided within one date statement to be accepted. Like this:

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

You can pass multiple date arguments to the function to build out the full date:

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