PubDate time format help with RSS Parser

[soggy]

The format that is displaying is [b]Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:31:00 GMT[/b]

I want it to display the date format as Dec 14, 2006 or close too. My php is below.

What needs to be added?

Thanks in advance

trying placing it before this:
          case "PUBDATE":
          $this->pubDate .= $data;
          break;
or anywhere else you feel it should be around, because trial and error is the best way to find the solution.
