For this code challenge, you'll need to check out the documentation for the date function to see details about formatting.
Use the date function to add todays date to the display message in the following format: full month, day of the month with leading 0, comma and 4 digit year.
Example: Today is July 04, 2016
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
date ('F d, Y');
?>

It would be ok in a real project.
Also, you need to echo the date.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Brock,
Normally that's probably what you would do on a real project. However, this challenge is expecting 2 separate echo statements or it won't pass.
