actually it's not a limitation, but a design decision

from my point of view you have 3 options:
1. ask for the date in a separate field
2. ask the people uploading to use a fixed format for the files
(i.e. if someone took a photo on 2/2/2006 ask them to rename the file
to 20060202.jpeg or something like that)
3. if you just want it for photos you could look the exif headers that
most digital cameras place on the photos they take. apart from the date
you will get camera make & model, orientation of the file,etc...(some
cameras only fill some fields, but I think the date of the photo
should be on most photos taken)
in php this is acomplished using the exif extension, specifically the
exif_read_data function
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php).
