   Hi,

   I'd like to assing a variable to function ie.

   $something = the_excerpt();

   but everytime i do so, the_excerpt is automatically generated by wordpress ... how can i declare such variable without executing this function ?

   If in a 'standard post loop', try $post->post_excerpt.

   It's proberly because..
   the_excerpt();
   Returns it's value...

   Use..
   get_the_excerpt()
   Example..
   $myvar = get_the_excerpt();

   ** Or perhaps Michael's suggestion.. **

   ;)
