thats not outside the loop.
see the differences between the_time and the_date in the codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_date
SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same day, you should use the Template Tag the_time() with a date-specific format string.

Ah, okay. So I’m using this code:
<div class=”date_header”><?php $my_date = the_date(”, ”, ”, FALSE); echo $my_date; ?></div>
However, in my date_header style it contains these properties:
‘ background: #COLOR;
color: #COLOR;
border-bottom: 2px solid #COLOR;
padding: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
‘
So even when there’s no date to display, it still shows an empty box. How would I make it so the empty box does not show?

Ah, nevermind. I’m dumb, I got it.
<?php $my_date = the_date('', '<div class="date_header">', '</div>', FALSE); echo $my_date; ?>
display date outside the loop using wordpress defined language:
$my_date = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’); // format in which date/time is stored in the wp database
echo mysql2date(‘l, j. F, Y’, $my_date);

Hey guys.
I’d like to know, is there anyway to have this display, but not have it show up on the current day? Only for days that aren’t today?
