This is my first hack and there is really nothing to it.

I like this hack. Is there anyway to get the Day along with the month to show up there too?

[cditty]

Sure. Just change this....

PHP Code:

date('M' 


with this

PHP Code:

date('M-d' 


If you would rather show the full month name instead of the abbr version, then just change the M to a F. Be sure to have the M & F in caps.

Thank you CDitty
It worked like a charm

cditty, what's the problem with that zodiac code? You need to use the numeric form of the month (1), not Jan.

[cditty]

I was thinking/hoping that code would be a quick down & dirty cut & paste job. But thinking about it, anything I might be able to come up with won't have the actual zodiac signs on it. ie...Capricorn is in Dec and Jan.

Why? That function you showed us takes care of that, all you need to do is give it the month and day, it'll return you the sign.

With many thanks to FireFly, here is a version for zodiac signs.

For the zodiac signs version, when I put "$post['sign']" in the postbit, I'm getting this error.

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in functions.php(304) : eval()'d code on line 14

[Admin]

$post[sign], without quoting the index name.

[Eniyi]

Thanks. It works now, but in the instructions, it says
"Place $post['sign'] in someplace in the postbit template where you want it to appear."
