# PHP strtoupper question…

 * I would like to print the date in my posts with an abbreviated month in uppercase.
   I tried using this but it still prints it in lower case:
 * <?php echo strtoupper( the_time(‘M’) ); ?>
 * Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
 * Thanks – Stuart.

 * Hey,
 * Try using `get_the_time('M')` instead of `the_time`
