Courses Plus Student 3,030 PointsPHP Basic Date Function Objective
I'm getting a bummer saying "Look like you forgot the echo command"
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$today = date('F d\, Y');
echo 'Today is ' . $today;
?>

30,548 Pointsseems like a bit of a semantics issue:
You need to remove the slash from the argument passed within the date() function
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date('F d, Y');
?>

7,452 PointsSo what is the difference between echo date ('F d, Y') vs echo date ("F d, Y") ?? i used the double quotes and it did not work. everything else i did was ok. single and double quotes keep getting me. im going back to review again.
