how to modify pages appearence on search results?

  • hi everybody.
    my search results look like this:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<h1>Search Results</h1>

		<ul class="dates">
		 	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<li>
				<span class="date"><?php the_time('n.j.y') ?></span>
				<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
				Published on
				<?php the_category(', ') ?>
			</li>
			<?php $results++; ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>
		</ul>

    the only problem i have with it is that pages don’t have categories, and so they show in the list in a broken sentence, like this:
    “ABOUT ME published on”

    what can i do to so that the “published on” will not show after names of pages in the list?

    thanks a lot!

    Maybe try:

    <?php if($post->post_type != 'page') : ?>
Published on
<?php the_category(', '); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    thanks!
    your offer excluded pages from the results completely. i did something similar but a little different:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<h1>Search Results:</h1>
		<ul class="dates">
	 	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<li>
		<span class="date"><?php the_time('n.j.y') ?></span>
		<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
		<?php if($post->post_type != 'page') : ?>Published On
		<?php the_category(', '); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
			</li>
