NSDateFormatter wrong string after formatting

Question

I receive a date through a string parameter, which is tempDateString, in a [day month year] format (for ex. 01 05 2005):

 NSLog(@\"tempdatestring %@\", tempD

• your format is wrong it is @"dd MM yyyy" case sensitive

• Use timezone to get the correct value[GMT value]

  NSString *tempDateString=@"04 10 2012" ;
  NSLog(@"tempdatestring %@", tempDateString);
  NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
  [dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];
  [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd MM yyyy"];
  NSDate *dayDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:tempDateString];
  NSLog(@"daydate %@", dayDate);
