imap_search Unknown search criterion: SINCE

I'm trying to get all the emails sent from a specific email which are either sent this month or last month. I'm using the following code:

(note: the imap_open works, I put 3 dots since I can't show the connection details)

$imapStream = imap_open(...);

if (!$imapStream || !empty(imap_errors())) {
    return;
}

$emailIds = imap_search($imapStream, 'FROM ' . $email . ' SINCE ' .  date ( "d M Y", strToTime ( "-1 month" ) ));

Where $email is a POST parameter. However, when I run this, it doesn't give me all the emails. When looking into imap_errors(), it gives the following error:

Unknown search criterion: SINCE

Found the error. imap somehow doesn't give me the right errors.

I tried this line:

$emailIds = imap_search($imapStream, 'FROM "' . $email . '" SINCE 22-Jul-2012');

This worked. So the SINCE criterion wasn't unknown the date string wasn't right.
