Hey there,
I need to get post tags as a php function, I used the function reference to try to set this up but it just returns nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas?

the_tags() or get_the_tags() is already a php function;
what are you trying to achieve with the tag data?

Thanks,
I am trying to use a tag as a class for a div which ties into a jquery menu that I have built.

It looks like this so far:

I cant seem to get it to put the tags in though:( Do you have any ideas about how I should go about it?

This seem to work:
```
<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
$count=0;
if ($posttags) {
  foreach($posttags as $tag) {
    $count++;
    if (1 == $count) {
      echo $tag->name . ' ';
    }
  }
}
?>
```
