You can edit the feed and put {feed:date} in the body template.

ETA: oops - I forgot we're talking about your custom reader script. Let me look at that...

OK, try this: Change function character_data() to:

function character_data($parser, $data)
{
    global $is_item, $tag, $title, $description, $link, $date;
    if ($is_item)
    {
        switch ($tag)
        {
            case "TITLE":
            $title .= $data;
            break;
            case "DESCRIPTION":
            $description .= $data;
    
            break;
            case "LINK":
            $link .= $data;
            break;
            case "PUBDATE":
            $date .= $data;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Then at the beginning of the end_element function:

function end_element($parser, $name)
{
    global $is_item, $title, $description, $link, $rss_output, $date;

then use $date in the html output. (I haven't tested this at all).
