    I would like to call on a variable outside of the php function.

    I want to use my url: www.mysite.com/ and add the current date to the end of it.

    I need to call on a php function to do this, therefore, I was going to do this:

    $date=<?php the_date(‘Y/m/d’); ?>

    Then, I want to combine my url with the date as follows:

    <a href="www.mysite.com/$date">MY TITLE</a>

    How do I go about doing this? Thanks.

    everything has to go inside the php tags. even if the variable is created outside the function itself it cant be outside the php tags.

    How would I make an a href with the date at the end of the link then?

    <?php

$url = "http://www.hiphoplot.com/";
$date = the_date('Y/m/d/');
echo $url . $date;
<a href="echo $url . $date";>
?>

	<div align="center"><font color=\"#FF00FF\"><?php the_date('l - F jS', '<h2>', '</h2>'); ?></font></div>
</a>
