   Hi all
   I have found a bug in xmlrpc.php.

   This is the issue:
   using metaWeblog.newPost method and setting createDate or date_created_gmt attribute I always have an error, doesn't matter the date format used.
   So I downloaded 2.6.2 code and I found in xmlrpc.php

   if ( !empty( $content_struct['date_created_gmt'] ) )
    $dateCreated = str_replace( 'Z', '', $content_struct['date_created_gmt']->getIso() ) . 'Z'; // We know this is supposed to be GMT, so we're going to slap that Z on there by force
   elseif ( !empty( $content_struct['dateCreated']) )
    $dateCreated = $content_struct['dateCreated']->getIso();

   Of course both $content_struct['dateCreated'] and $content_struct['date_created_gmt'] are not objects. So you can't call a methos on it. They are strings. That's why every format used gave an error.

   This bug was documented also here http://www.franzone.com/2007/07/30/wordpress-xml-rpc-patch-for-metweblog-newpost-method/#comment-4063 a year ago and a there was a patch too. I see that the code was modified but the bug is still there. That's somewhat strange...

   Unfortunately my blog is hosted in wordpress.com so I can't fix it by myself. Is there a way to fix it ?

   Any help?

   I have patched xmlrpc.php, but I don't see any reply to my post. Is there someone interested ?
