can anyone please tell me why this code snippet returns nil in my log file:

    NSString *dateString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString: @"2011-08-23 15:00"];

NSLocale *englishLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en"];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:englishLocale];

NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString]);

Thanks a lot.

    Check my variant:

    NSString *dateString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString: @"2011-08-23 15:00"];

NSLocale *englishLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en"];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
//HH:MM -> HH:mm
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:englishLocale];

NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString]);

    As you see I’ve changed date format to : @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
