I've searched the template tags/Codex and the forums but as yet not managed to come across an answer.
Right now if I use the standard time/date formatting using the code below I get the output listed below.
Code:
<?php the_time('F jS'); ?>
Output:
August 22nd
What I'm after however is the abbreviated form of the month (e.g. "Aug" instead of "August" and "Sep" instead of "September". Is this possible and if so, how do I go about achieving it? Thanks in advance.

actually thats not really helpful, is it..but it links to this:
http://us.php.net/date
wordpress follows the same standard
Thank you. That did the trick.
As a suggestion, perhaps the Codex could be updated to include that extra info?

the codex links to the info, but you can always make an account and add to the page.
The codex only links to that info because it might change in the future. Okay, not likely, but duplicating all of it is a bit pointless. ;)
