从<pubDate> PHP RSS提要中删除时间

Question

I have records with no time attached so, with the rss feed I'm just getting 00:00.

I need help customizing this code to remove the time but, keep the date.

Any help would be great as I have been playing with this for fat too long :)

 $get_courses = "SELECT 
courses.course_id,
     DATE_FORMAT(courses.date_added,'%a %b %e %Y') as formatted_date_added, 
courses.course_type,
courses.start_date,
location_name,
price,
     duration 
 FROM courses 
 JOIN addresses ON courses.course_get_address_id = addresses.address_id 
 WHERE courses.active = 'Active' 
 ORDER BY courses.date_added DESC 
 LIMIT 30";

XML

 '<pubDate>'.$course['formatted_date_added'].' GMT</pubDate>'

Answer 1

Change

DATE_FORMAT(courses.date_added,'%a %b %e %Y') as formatted_date_added

to

UNIX_TIMESTAMP(courses.date_added) as formatted_date_added

and in PHP:

if (date("H:i", $tuple["when"]) == "00:00")
    // without time
    echo '<pubDate>'.strftime('%a %b %e %Y', 
        $course['formatted_date_added']).' GMT</pubDate>';
else
    // with time
    echo '<pubDate>'.strftime('%a %b %e %Y %r', 
        $course['formatted_date_added']).' GMT</pubDate>';

Or just output

'<pubDate>'.strftime('%a %b %e %Y', $course['formatted_date_added']).' GMT</pubDate>'

if you won't ever have time information.
