9,426 PointsWhy does it tell me that I forgot my echo command?
I can't change the code above the variable named $today, I also used an echo for that variable in order to include the date after the previously written string.
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
$today = date("F d, Y");
echo $today;
?>

echo date("F d, Y");
