    Hey all,

    Basically I’m trying to get a string attached to the_time('F j, Y').

    What’s going wrong?

    My code is this (for example):

    <?php $my_post_date = the_time('F j, Y') ?>

    BUT on ANY mention of the function the_time(), it will ECHO what I’ve written!

    This means that the above actually APPEARS on the page saying

    October 9, 2011

    despite me just trying to declare it as part of the $my_post_date string.

    So how do I make a string that has the posts’ date? Any ideas?
