code:
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&order=DESC&orderby=post_date');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>
<?php
endforeach; ?>
so im trying to post the latest 5 posts with the dates. but the date only appears on the latest ONE post. if i use the_time() instead of the_date(), it shows up on all of them, but the_date() is what i really need. any idea what's going on?
thanks,

Just asking - what is the difference between the_time and the_date if you can adjust the formatting on the_time to show the date in whichever way you like?

This IS the difference:
but the date only appears on the latest ONE post.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_date:
SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same day, you should use the Template Tag the_time() with a date-specific format string.
