Vista Feed Headlines gadget - wrong date>

Hi all,

When I use the Feed Headlines gadget in Vista to view a feed, e.g.

http://www.phpfreenews.co.uk/forums/rss.php

All the articles come out as Saturday 30th December. Yet they show
with the correct date when viewed in the IE7 feed viewer.

Any ideas?

For the benefit of Google indexing, I'll post the answer to my own
question.

The default date format from the PHP date command is to show the
timezone as +0000 or +0001 etc.

The Microsoft Feed gadget can't cope with this, it needs the dates to
show GMT etc. So my PHP now uses:

<pubDate><?= date("D, d M Y H:i:s e", $ArticleDate) ?></pubDate>

which shows up correctly in the gadget.
