Converting from human readable to machine readable to human readable again is not efficient. If possible store as a Unix Timestamp and just use date()

Be careful with timezones though...

$tm = date("r", strtotime($datetime));
echo "<pubDate>".$tm."</pubDate>";

You could try this:

$datetime="2012-01-12 00:00:00";
$time=strtotime($datetime);
echo date("r",$time);

-or-

echo date("D, d M Y H:i:s T",$time);
