Post to Timeline - with a date in the past

(noob question) Using the example.php that comes with the PHP SDK I can post to my timeline successfully.

I'd like though to be able to set the date, so I added: 

:
:
 'created_time' => "2012-06-21T13:46:10+0000",
 'updated_time' => "2012-02-19T14:46:10+0000",
 'actions' => array(
             array(
                 'name' => 'Get Search',
                 'link' => 'http://www.google.com'
             )
     )
     );


     $result = $facebook->api('/me/feed/', 'post', $attachment);
     ?>
     <?php endif ?>

But created_time is ignored, the post is always "NOW". I've searched around for a solution to this but found nothing. Am i doing something wrong, is it a typo, or just not possible like this?

Looking on the web I did find articles about placing "ACTIONS" in the past - e.g.: How can I add a custom date to the facebook timeline through graph api

Is that the (only?) way to go, create a "publish" action ,,. with start_time etc.? Any links to how to do this (in PHP?)

You can only create actions in the past, not Posts using the API. However, you can manually change the date of a post using the Activity Log - it doesn't look like this feature is available via the API yet.
