How do i solve this?

My link doesnt work. It goes to only one post, if it goes at all. It needs to loop like the recent posts : p but it doesnt work .

<div class="resent-posts">
                <ul class="archives-ul">

                    <?php
                    $args = array( 'numberposts' => '5' );
                    $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
                    foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){ ?>

                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                        <li><?php echo $recent["post_title"] ?> <br><small class="entry-date" datetime=""><?php echo get_the_date( $format, $post_id ); ?></small></li>
                    </a>
                    <?php } ?>
                </ul>
            </div>

Because you don't have a standard post object, you have to change the the_permalink function to get_permalink and pass the post's ID. All you have to do is change your code to

<?php
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($recent['ID'])">

Which by the way, is shown in the first example on the wp_get_recent_posts function here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_recent_posts
