   I have a date hack that displays an image for the date in my posts. It works perfectly.
   What I want to do is use the bloginfo('theme_url') tage in place of the full url to the images.
   Here is the working code:
   <? php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("<img src='http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas/img/date/{$d}.png'> "); ?>
   I want to replace http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas
   with the
   <? php bloginfo('theme_url'); ?> TAG

   Is there a way to get the bloginfo inside an existing php tag?

   <? php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("<img src='bloginfo('theme_url');'> "); ?>

   Should work. Basically to combine PHP functions together, you strip out <? php and ?> from one of the functions and combine it into the other one where you want it to appear.

   Tried that already and it doesn't work.
   <?php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("<img src='bloginfo('theme_url');/img/date/{$d}.png'> "); ?>
   would be the full code.

   it ends up outputting this.
   <img src='bloginfo('theme_url'); /img/date/mon.png'>

   OK I got it folks.
   I'll past what I got just in case somebody else runs into the problem.

   <img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("/img/date/{$d}.png'> "); ?>

   BTW if anybody's interested in making the post dates images all you do is replace this:
   <?php the_time('D j M Y'); ?>

   with this:
<img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("/img/date/{$d}.png'> "); ?>
<img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $m = strtolower(get_the_time('M')); echo ("/img/date/{$m}.png'> "); ?>
<img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $j = strtolower(get_the_time('j')); echo ("/img/date/{$j}.png'> "); ?>
<img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $y = strtolower(get_the_time('Y')); echo ("/img/date/{$y}.png'> "); ?>


   make you're images and you're good to go.
