How can I extract the date from an arbitrary string such as Joe Soap

  • 0

How can I extract the date from an arbitrary string such as “Joe Soap was born on 12 February 1981”?

Python has a wonderful fuzzy parsing functionality provided by python-dateutil as described in this question.

I’m looking for a library that provides the same type of functionality in PHP.
