These are more general hints on ways to solve the problem yourself.

What happens if you feed this function a designated string that you
explicitly provide. ie. Define $string to be a line of data you'd like
get date info on and then call the function.  If you get the right thing
you know your function is doing what you expected.

 > $filename = ("combined_log");
 > 
 > //fopen ($filename, "r");
 > 
 > $fcontents = file($filename);
 >  $limit = 1;
 > for ($i = 0; $i <= $limit; $i++)
 > {
 > $line = $fcontents[i];

Try echo'ing $line to make sure you actually had something happen.

 > if (!empty($line))
 > {
 > $currentdate = getmydate($line);
 > echo $currentdate;
 > }
 > }

Work up to the whole solution if you find things not working like you'd
expect.
