Hello!

Your code is good (using variables instead of hard coded), and it should work. After looking at the code challenge though, you have to hard code it to make it work.

I got this to work...

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

Hope that helps!

Dear Zach,

Much appreciate the help!

Apparently, I did not need to fix the first line and just echo out the second date portion without concatenating two lines.

Thank you!
