RSS & feedvalidator.org question

[simplistik]

So I've almost got all my RSS issues worked out except it generates one error:


line 20, column 42: Incorrect day of week: Wed [help]
<pubDate>Wed, 11 Aug 2006 13:48:47 MST</pubDate>


now... upon clicking the help button it sends me to... this nice "help" doc
http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/IncorrectDOW.html

so... my questions is... what's the flippin difference between what I have... the incorrect example they give... and the correct one. Cause I'm surely not seeing it

[bwh2]

yours is the wrong day of the week. 11 aug 2006 was a friday, not wednesday.

[simplistik]

hmmnnn strange... the dates underneath it are registering just fine

[bwh2]

are the days of the weeks underneath it correct?

[simplistik]

yea everything underneath the first one is correct

[simplistik]

ah, I got it. I'm pulling from my DB and had to declare the years and what not for the day to function correctly, went to php.net and looked at their date functions and figured it out (thank you php.net).


$theDay = date("D", mktime(0, 0, 0, $Month, $Day, $Year));

then just echo it back out where I need it thanks for pointing me in the correct direction bwh

sweet. yeah, php.net has pretty awesome documentation.
