Try this:

-(NSDate *)dateFromString:(NSString *)string
{
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
[dateFormat setLocale:locale];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"];

NSDate *date1 = [dateFormat dateFromString:string];  
if(!date1) date1= [NSDate date];
[dateFormat release];
[locale release];

return date1;
}

Tell me if it helps!!!
