Question

I am building an rss feed.

I need to output a date,
I am passing though a date that the date_format function can understand, but I am not sure how to format the date so it fits with the RFC 822 standard.

I need to output a date like this: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 09:41:01 GMT

What format should I use, or is there another modifier?

Answer 1

From the PHP docs for DateTime:

const string RFC822 = "D, d M y H:i:s O" ;

The corresponding Smarty string should be "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z".
