Pulling in Blogger Date using MagpieRSS

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....
