Pulling dc:date from a feed

http://pastebin.com/3h7mb53Y

<dc:date>2011-02-19T05:31:54.639393-07:00-0700</dc:date> ... this is what I'm trying to pull.

Any idea?

Slight update, though it still doesn't pull the date. http://pastebin.com/AtqkMUhE

*randomly plucked user* http://www.reddit.com/user/Maxxters/comments.rss this is the feed using dc:date.

Any clue?

Salathe will become famous soon enough

It looks like the fetch_rss() (which uses MagpieRSS) function is deprecated, with fetch_feed() (uses SimplePie) being the preferred alternative. Then, inside your loop, you'd use $item->get_date().

The function reference has a good example:
