To obtain the current day you can:
```
echo date('d');
```
and for current month:
```
echo date('m');
```
in a short textual representation of a month, three letters:
```
echo date('M');
```
But if you have the date already in a string variable you can for day:
```
echo date('d',strtotime('11/26/2011'));
```
and for month:
```
echo date('M',strtotime('11/26/2011'));
```
For complete references of the functions:
- date()
- strtotime()

<p class="month"><?php echo get_the_date('M'); ?></p>
<p class="day"><?php echo get_the_date('d'); ?></p>
