That seems to work only with the_date() and the_time(), which I can’t use outside the Loop. But I’ve found a solution:
mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);
Hi koyder, thanks for sharing!
But where do you exactly put mysql2date(‘j M Y’, $post->post_date); to make it work properly? I do an echo on post_date to show the date but when I place mysql2date(‘j M Y’, $post->post_date); into my code, it doesn’t work…
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi there,
I am trying to do exactly the same thing but it does not seem to work.
My code:
echo "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">$post_title</a> - $post->post_date; ?></li>";
What I get:
“The title” – 2008-10-24 10:22:18
What I want:
“The title” – October 24, 2008
If I change the code to:
echo "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">$post_title</a> - mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);</li>";
I get:
“The title” – mysql2date(‘j M Y’, 2008-10-24 10:22:18);
Thanks in advance for the help
you haven’t wrapped the code, it’s just plain text at the moment
mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date);
see?
try:
. mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date) .
I’m having the same problem…
I’m trying to output:
<li><a>Title</a> April 12, 2010</li>
But when I use the code in neologan’s example above I get:
<li><a>Title</a> </li>
Here’s my code:
'<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" title="Read more of '.$post["post_title"].'" >' . $post["post_title"].'</a> '.$post["post_date"].' </li> '
Sorry, missed out the code including neologan’s exmaple in my post above. The code including neologan’s example looks like this:
'<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" title="Read more of '.$post["post_title"].'" >' . $post["post_title"].'</a> '. mysql2date('j M Y', $post->post_date) .' </li> '
But outputs:
<li><a>Title</a> </li>
I’m trying to get:
<li><a>Title</a> April 12, 2010</li>
try this:
. mysql2date(‘M j Y’, $post[“post_date”]) .

That works perfectly! Thanks.
