39,025 PointsTrying to write correct date format with concatenation.
I am trying to echo the correct date format: full month, day of the month with leading 0, comma and 4 digit year. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date("F d".', '. "Y");
?>

It is not necessary to use concatenation here, your code displays correctly, but It seems challenge expects you to use all parameters in one string. For example.
<?php
echo date("F d, Y");
?>
