How to format post date in wordpress ?

<?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?>


For example, the format string:

l, F j, Y

creates a date that look like this:

Friday, September 24, 2004

Here is what each format character in the string above represents:

• l = Full name for day of the week (lower-case L).
• F = Full name for the month.
• j = The day of the month.
• Y = The year in 4 digits. (lower-case y gives the year's last 2 digits)
