[SOLVED] rss pub date

[hchsk]

i have a dynamic rss page generated with php, but for some reason, when i attempt to include the $nowpub as <pubDate> , even though looking at the generated source, the pubDate is properly written, the date does not display! still oddly enough, when i've tried to troubleshoot by replacing the generated <pubDate> with an identical, but hand typed <pubDate>, it displays correctly!

 

thank you for any ideas and help!

 

 

<?php

//CHECK WHEN LAST MODIFIED AND ASSIGN TO VAR
$lastmod = date("mdHis", (filemtime("report.txt")));
$lastmod += 10000;

//GET CURRENT DATE
$now = date("mdHis");
$nowpub = date("D, j M y g:i:s");

//GET LAST UPDATE
$lastupdate = date("mdGis", (filemtime("modifycheck.txt"))); //////instead of storing value here, change file and get date("mdGis", (filemtime("modifycheck.txt")));

//GET SCORES
$filename = "scorestore.txt";
$score = file($filename);

//GET COMMENT
$filename = "comments.txt";
$comment = file($filename);
$luck = rand(0, 34);

//GET REPORT
$filename = "report.txt";
$report = file($filename);
