events rss feed w3c validation

[creativebridge]

I have managed to get the events plugin to output the rss feed fine, however when I run this through the w3c validator, I get quite a few errors. I am going through each of them myself, but I have stumbled on the first error which is indicated here:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eblex.org.uk%2Fevents%2Ffeed%2F

I have changed the format from:
<pubDate><?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $event, true, $format ); ?></pubDate>
to:
<pubDate><?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $event, true, ‘D, d M y H:i:s O’ ); ?></pubDate>

in my rss2 event feed file, but it is still giving an error. Any ideas where I could be going wrong?

Thanks

Howdy,

I hope you understand, we can not assist with learning specifications (like RFC 822) or generic PHP stuff like arguments for a Date object. Rather, Tribe employs me to answer questions regarding Tribe APIs.

That said I hate turning people away without helping at least little. You would want your output date to match the RFC 822 Specification. You might check with Google for how PHP Date syntax works.

Please do let me know if you have any questions regarding our API, functions, or so forth though. I would be glad to assist with that!
