# php the_date doesn´t work

 * In the frontpage of my WP I put some diferents loops to show the last post on
   some categories, and I put this in that way:
 * `?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=5'); foreach($posts as $post):?
   ><?php the_title(); ?>. In <?php the_date(); ?><?php endforeach; ?>`
 * The title of the post shows in the right way, but the date doesn´t appear. Someone
   knows why that happens? I check the code, and I think I wrote it correctly.

 * Just read the bold part in the first paragraph [the_date](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_date).
