Question

I need to return an array of post dates in wordpress. So basically if I have 10 posts in wordpress, I need to create an array that will return the date that each of the tens posts were created. I don’t need the list to be ordered nor contain any other content. Pretty simple right?!

Something like this:

$myarray = array();
query_posts();
// The Loop         
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   $my_array = the_time('j');
endwhile;

I have attempted many different methods to accomplish this but they have all more or less failed. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You are using the_time which does not return anything which is to display output directly.

use get_the_time()

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   $my_array[] = get_the_time('j');
endwhile;
