    Hey guys,

    I’m trying to pull this off (see html below) without the use of a plugin.

    <ul>
  <li>2012
    <ul>
      <li>December
        <ul>
          <li>Post title</li>
          <li>Post title</li>
          <li>Post title</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>November
        <ul>
          <li>Post title</li>
          <li>Post title</li>
          <li>Post title</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

    I’ve come up with this snippet of code which currently outputs this:

    December 2012
    Post title
    Post title
    Post title
    November 2012
    Post title
    Post title

    How can I change the code below so that it replicates my html code? Please someone help with this, I don’t think it’s that impossible?

    <?php

// Declare some helper vars
$previous_year = $year = 0;
$previous_month = $month = 0;
$ul_open = false;

// Get the posts
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&orderby=post_date&order=DESC&cat=1');

?>

<?php foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>   

    <?php

    // Setup the post variables
    setup_postdata($post);

    $year = mysql2date('Y', $post->post_date);
    $month = mysql2date('n', $post->post_date);

    ?>

    <?php if($year != $previous_year || $month != $previous_month) : ?>

        <?php if($ul_open == true) : ?>
        </ul>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <h3><?php the_time('F Y'); ?></h3>

        <ul class="month_archive">

        <?php $ul_open = true; ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php $previous_year = $year; $previous_month = $month; ?>

    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>

    I think this will do what you want:

    <?php

function start_new_year($year) {
   echo "\t<li>";
   the_time('Y');
   echo "<ul>\n";
}
function end_previous_year() {
   echo "\t</ul></li>\n";
}
function start_new_month($month) {
   echo "\t\t<li>";
   the_time('F');
   echo "<ul>\n";
}
function end_previous_month() {
   echo "\t\t</ul></li>\n";
}

// Declare some helper vars
$previous_year = $year = 0;
$previous_month = $month = 0;
$ul_open = false;

// Get the posts
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&orderby=post_date&order=DESC&cat=1');
?>

<ul>
<?php $previous_year = $previous_month = '';

   foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>

   <?php

   // Setup the post variables
   setup_postdata($post);

   $year = mysql2date('Y', $post->post_date);
   $month = mysql2date('n', $post->post_date);

   ?>

   <?php if($year != $previous_year) :
      if ($previous_year) :
         end_previous_year();
      endif;
      if ($previous_month) end_previous_month();
      start_new_year($year);
      start_new_month($month);
      $previous_year = $year;
      $previous_month = $month;
   endif;
   if ($month != $previous_month) :
      if ($previous_month) :
         end_previous_month();
      endif;
      start_new_month($month);
      $previous_month = $month;
   endif;
   ?>

    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach;
end_previous_month();
end_previous_year(); ?>

</ul>
