For this, I would have used a "d" inside your format string instead of an "m".
<?php
date("F d, Y");
I tried to test this and did see the right answer comeback in the view but when I tried to submit the answer, it kept saying I was incorrect. At this point, I would notify treehouse that something is wrong with that particular exam and move forward.
