Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,073 PointsUse the date function to add todays date to the display message in the following format: full month, day of the month...
This is exactly the same problem someone else had but I don't see that it got answered.
The date today is November 11, 2016. My code is:
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//place your code below this line
$today = date('F d, Y'); //I could have left this out and just echoed the right side
echo $today;
?>
The review displays: Today is November 11, 2016
But the challenge says 'Bummer! Looks like you forgot the echo'
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
$today = date('F d, Y')
echo $today;
?>

<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo date('F d, Y');
?>
that should work properly. -Greg

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,073 PointsYeah, you are right. The challenge did not like my interim variable ($today = date('F d, Y'). How frustrating is that?
