   I'm trying to format each piece of the date into seperate spans/divs, as such:

   <span>5</span> <div>Jan</div> <div>2009</div>

   Have never used php, but am vaguely familiar with programming in Javascript, etc. I tried this, didn't work:

   <?php
   $date = "</span> <div class=\"month\">";
   $month = "</div> <div class=\"year\">";
   the_date('j' + $date + 'M' + $month + 'Y', '<h2><span class="date">', '</div></h2>');
   ?>

   The variables were ignored. The end result was <h2><span class="date">5 Jan 2009</div></h2>

   Any ideas?

   <span class="day"><?php the_time( 'D' ); ?></span>
   <span class="month"><?php the_time( 'M' ); ?></span>
   <span class="year"><?php the_time( 'Y' ); ?></span>

   I figured it would probably be that easy. Thanks!
