I can't pass the challenge(but it seemed work)

I've tested it on my MAMP local_host and it seemed work! However, I couldn't pass the challenge! Anything wrong?

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

The test is asking you for a very specific format, and the example they gave says July 04, 2016. Your snippet is working all right, the j argument gives the day as a number without leading zeroes, so it would give July 4, 2016. Just change the j argument for a d argument. I know the challenges can be very specific sometimes. Hope you have a good day.

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