Answer 1

Actually, there are 2 approaches to this.

The first approach is to set a valid date for XML sitemap which includes the "C" char which gave the value: (2019-06-03T17:30:21-05:00). Test it here

'.date('c', strtotime($row['date'])).'

The 2nd approach is to set a valid date for RSS sitemap which includes the "r" char which gave the value: (2019-03-07T17:55:44+00:00).

'.date('r', strtotime($row['date'])).'

Hope this helps you. Thanks
