   In my template, I'm trying to display:

   Today, June 17th, 2005
   Yesterday, June 16th, 2005
   Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

   to the template, but I seem to be having a problem with the_time() function.

   here is my code..

   <?
   $today = date("Ymd");
   $yesterday = date("Ymd", time() - 86400);
   $mtdate = the_time('Ymd');

   if ($mtdate==$today) {
   echo ('Today, ');
   the_time('F j, Y');
   }
   elseif ($mtdate==$yesterday) {
   echo ('Yesterday, ');
   the_time('F j, Y');
   }
   else {
   the_time('l, F j, Y');
   }
   ?>

   This therectically should work, but for some reason its displaying like this instead:

   20050617Friday, June 17th, 2005

   instead. Is there a way to fix this?

   thanks

   nevermind, its

   $mtdate = get_the_time('Ymd');
   instead of
   $mtdate = the_time('Ymd');
