I haven't looked into this much, but it appears that the substr() function only accepts 
American MM/DD/YYYY, it is possible that this is set up when you install (I didn't install it) but it would be nice if you could add a switch so that substr() accepts the European DD/MM/YYYY format.

i can see absolutely no connection between 
substr() and date formats

I sorted it out and there is no way that there a parameter added to change the behaviour from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY. However, you still can USE the UNIXTIME() function of MySQL.
