Wordpress the_time problem

I'm having a problem with

<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>

on my wordpress blog. It retuns Dec 31 1969 and I can't find how to fix that. Any ideas what might be happening here?

Thanks

 

Whats your servers time and date set to?

 

I ran some php time code on the server and it reports correctly.

Now: 2006-08-27 Next Week: 2006-09-03

The wordpress time is messed up for some reason.

 

I would suggest a fresh install maybe try fantastico if its available in your cpanel if indeed you do use cpanel.

hope it helps,

 

try

date('Y-m-d')
