Asked to add date in PHP in a SINGLE line and in a designated format, i did as it asked to but it doesn't let me pass the test.
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo "Today is " . date ('F d, Y');
?>

You are very close. In php the left hand parentheses need to be touching the function name, ie with no spaces.
<?php
date('F d, Y');
Additionally, you are duplicating the Today is, so once you fix your function call, it will print Today is Today is September 20, 2018, instead of Today is September 20, 2018. I would remove the "Today is" and just echo the date.
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date('F d, Y');

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

1,435 PointsHi Kris. Already did, in the code that got here i know i repeated the echo for 'Today is ' but if i take it away is still the same. It keeps saying "Bummer: You must use the built-in date function".
