   Hi! I'm modifying some code and am wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Instead of having it use the date (in Y-m-d format), I want it to use the post ID. The code's purpose is basically defining a header image dynamically, based on the post ID. It worked with the date code, but doesn't work with the post_ID code.

   Here's the original code:
   <?php the_time('Y-m-d') ?>

   And here's my modification:
   <?php the_ID(); ?>

   So the final code for the entire section would be:
   

   <div id="comic">
   <?php
   error_reporting(0);
   $gposts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
   foreach ($posts as $post) :
   ?>
   
   <?php echo '<img src="http://collegeandbeyond.org/headers/' ?>
   <?php the_ID(); ?><?php echo '.jpg" alt="Comic" />' ?>
   
   <?php
   endforeach;
   ?>
   </div>

   Any ideas?

   Thanks for the help!

   At least one problem:

   $gposts = get_posts('numberposts=1');

   try
   $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1');

   I believe you need a setup_postdata($post); statement also.

   Template_Tags/get_posts
