    Hello All,

    I have aproblem pulling in the date for a feed from a Blogger website.

    I am using MagpieRSS, using:

    $date = $item['pubdate'];

    works fine for pulling in a date from a twitter feed and a wordPress feed but not working with a Blogger Feed, when I echo the string '$date' nothing happens. is there a different name for 'pubdate' with regard to Blogger?

    My code for Blogger is as follows:

    require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');
    $url = 'http://ask-design.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default';
    $rss = fetch_rss( $url );
    for ($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
    $item = $rss->items[$i];
    $title = $item['title'];
    $date = $item['pubdate'];
    $url = $item['link'];
    $desc = $item['atom_content'];
    if (strlen($desc) > 50) {
        $desc = substr($desc, 0, 40) . "...";
      }
    echo "<b>$title</b><i>$date</i><br />$desc<a href=\"$url\" target=_blank>read more</a><br /><br />";
    } 
    PHP:
    Any help would be appeciated.

    Thanks.

    Hello all.

    Noticed that no-one had a solution so for those who would like to know:

    Getting the date for a Blogger feed $date = $item['published']; NOT $date = $item['pubdate'];

    Cheery bye....
