Trim characters from RSS feed
- by egr103
I'm calling in a RSS feed to my website using PHP. Currently my code below is calling in the entire contents for pubDate:
<pubDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2013 07:23:59 +0000</pubDate>
How do I just display the day and month from the above example i.e. 12 Sep?
EDIT
I should clarify, the above line of code is an example output I currently get but as I'm calling the latest 3 posts from an RSS feed, this date and time will vary. I therefore need the code to be more dynamic (if that's the right term!)
This code is my full code that fetches the contents of an RSS feed:
<?php
$counter = 0;
$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://tutorial.world.edu/feed/");
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) {
$title = (string) $item->title; // Title Post
$link = (string) $item->link; // Url Link
$pubDate = (string) $item->pubDate; // date
$description = (string) $item->description; //Description Post
echo '<div class="display-rss-feed"><a href="'.$link.'" target="_blank" title="" >'.$title.' </a><br/><br/>';
echo $description.'<hr><p style="background-color:#e4f;">'.$pubDate.'</p></div>';
if($counter == 2 ) {
break;
} else {
$counter++;
}
} ?>
