hey andy,

if you want to have the date for IcyPhoenix... its better to note convert the string in a date... its better to use the UNIX timestamp... then you can call the timestamp with the create_date_ip() function from Icy...

this might be helpfull for you http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
