    I am trying to preg_match this " Expiration Date: 23-may-2012" except the "23-may-2012" could actually be returned in a bunch of ways.. Anyways any help would be great.

    This should do it, no need for regular expression (no matter what format the date is in):

    
<?php
$string = str_replace('Expiration Date:', '', 'Expiration Date: 23-may-2012');

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($string));
    PHP:
