I'm trying to create a RSS feed through a PHP script. I'm almost done, but I'm having one small problem with my dates. Using the following code I sometimes get an "Implausible date" error at feedvalidator.org. How can I output a RFC 822 standards complient date? echo "<pubDate>".date("D, d M Y G:i:s")." GMT</pubDate>"; I'm not sure, but I think my problem is sometimes the time is 00:00:00. Is that not allowed? Is that the problem? Is it fixable?

Have you tried date('r')? 'r' tells date() to output an RFC2822 formatted date.

Thank you, I didn't realize there was a shorter way to write a RFC date. I'm still getting the implausible date issue. I'm thinking its not because of date format now, but because of my server location. I get the problems when its early in the morning. The server is seven hours away from GMT, so I'm getting times like "00:00:00 -0700". Is there a way to convert my time, or shift it, so it reports in GMT time? That way, its not minus seven hours that aren't there?

will date_default_timezone_set [php.net] do it for you?

gmdate() [php.net], works same as date() but in GMT.
