Question

First print the current date of your submission using the date function.
Then set a string
$myString = “The​ ​quick​ ​brown​ ​fox​ ​jumps​ ​over​ ​the​ ​lazy​ ​dog”;
I want you to check from 2005 to 2015 and find out which year was a leap year.
If it is a leap year then you need to print out:
$year​ ​(the​ ​value​ ​of​ ​the​ ​year)​ ​is​ ​a​ ​leap​ ​year
THE​ ​QUICK​ ​BROWN​ ​FOX​ ​JUMPS​ ​OVER​ ​THE​ ​LAZY​ ​DOG
If it is not a leap year then you need to print out:
$year​ ​(the​ ​value​ ​of​ ​the​ ​year)​ ​is​ ​not​ ​a​ ​leap​ ​year
the​ ​quick​ ​brown​ ​fox​ ​jumps​ ​over​ ​the​ ​lazy​ ​dog
if the year is 2015 then you need to print out:
The​ ​quick​ ​brown​ ​cat​ ​jumps​ ​over​ ​the​ ​lazy​ ​dog​ ​(you​ ​are​ ​changing​ ​fox​ ​with​ ​cat)
You​ ​need​ ​to​ ​use​ ​built​ ​in​ ​php​ ​string​ ​and​ ​date​ ​functions​ ​to​ ​do​ ​the​ ​uppercase,​ ​lowercase​ ​and
replace.​

To get the current date, just use the php date() function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php).
Then I suppose you should use a for loop to check each year whether it is a leap year and finally print the 2015's print.
Leap years are divisible by 4 (with the exception of years divisible by 100 but not by 400), Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year), but you don't need to worry about years divisible by 100 or 400 in your code. To see if a number is divisible by another number, use modulo. For example 2 % 2 = 0, while 3 % 2 = 1.
This should be more than enough to get you started.
