How to generate a list of posts published on current day?

Question

I want to create a page labeled "Today's News" which displays a simple bulleted list of all posts published on the current day and grab the current date based on the server's date/time. Is this feasible?

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Use query_posts

$day = date('j');
query_posts( "day=$day&order=ASC" );

Answer 2

Is this feasible?

Yes.

get_posts(); is your best friend. No need to modify the query or run a new one.

// Call it with the date you need as input argument
function wpse28632_get_daily_posts( $date = null )
{
    $posts = get_posts( array( 'order_by' => 'post_date' ) ); // additional arguments - see Codex
    echo '<ul>';
    foreach ( $posts as $post )
    {
        if ( $date == $post->post_date )
            echo "<li>{$post}</li>";
    }
    echo '</ul>';
}
