 * I have a date hack that displays an image for the date in my posts. It works 
   perfectly.
    What I want to do is use the bloginfo(‘theme_url’) tage in place 
   of the full url to the images. Here is the working code: <? php $d = strtolower(
   get_the_time(‘D’)); echo (“<img src=’[http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas/img/date/](http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas/img/date/){
   $d}.png’> “); ?> I want to replace [http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas](http://MYURL.com/wp-content/themes/christmas)
   with the <? php bloginfo(‘theme_url’); ?> TAG
 * Is there a way to get the bloginfo inside an existing php tag?

 * `<? php $d = strtolower(get_the_time('D')); echo ("<img src='bloginfo('theme_url');'
   > "); ?>`
 * Should work. Basically to combine PHP functions together, you strip out <? php
   and ?> from one of the functions and combine it into the other one where you 
   want it to appear.

 * Tried that already and it doesn’t work.
    <?php $d = strtolower(get_the_time(‘
   D’)); echo (“<img src=’bloginfo(‘theme_url’);/img/date/{$d}.png’> “); ?> would
   be the full code.

    <img src=’bloginfo(‘theme_url’); /img/date/mon.png’

 * OK I got it folks.
    I’ll past what I got just in case somebody else runs into
   the problem.
 * <img src='<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?><?php $d = strtolower(get_the_time(‘
   D’)); echo (“/img/date/{$d}.png’> “); ?>

 * BTW if anybody’s interested in making the post dates images all you do is replace
   this:
    ` <?php the_time('D j M Y'); ?> `
 * with this:`
    
   <img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $d = strtolower(
   get_the_time('D')); echo ("/img/date/{$d}.png'> "); ?>
    <img src='<?php bloginfo('
   template_url'); ?><?php $m = strtolower(get_the_time('M')); echo ("/img/date/{
   $m}.png'> "); ?> <img src='<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?><?php $j = strtolower(
   get_the_time('j')); echo ("/img/date/{$j}.png'> "); ?> <img src='<?php bloginfo('
   template_url'); ?><?php $y = strtolower(get_the_time('Y')); echo ("/img/date/{
   $y}.png'> "); ?>
 * make you’re images and you’re good to go.
