What is wrong with the code?

It returns the right date and still says its wrong?

index.php 
<?php
echo 'Today is ';
//Place your code below this comment
echo $today = date("F d, Y ");
?>

Hey!

You have a space after the Y, that's the problem. It should be like this:

<?php
echo $today = date("F d, Y");
?>

You don't even need to save the data to the variable $today, you can simply echo the result:

<?php
echo date("F d, Y");
?>

Hope it helps!
