No extra credit? :(

<h1><?php echo ('Shirts 4 Mike'); ?><h1> <?php $today = date("l,F,d,Y"); ?> <p> Today is <?php echo $today; ?> </p>

This is the exact code to used to generate the exact desired output in the code challenge. But i didn't get the extra credit. Why?

I don't think that the extra cedit is something you are able to achieve. It's more like another small challenge which you can do on you own. Oftentimes the extra credit challenges just tell you to read some articles and dig deeper into the issues.

Thank you so much for let me know. I really like the points and leader board concept here. It sort of keeps me motivated (maybe too motivated :P) Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately you do not actually get any extra credit when you complete a challenge. I wish you did. Sorry.

Thank you so much Logan for answer my question (my silly question). I thought this forum is sort of slow and no one never uses it (grave mistake of me). But there are some useful questions and answer in here too. I should indulge myself forum a little more.

The forums is a great place. Sometimes it can take an hour or two to get your question answered, but it really just depends on who is on and when. There are a lot of great people on the forum :)
