title: Date regular expression in PHP
body: <p>I'm running into some troubles writing a regex (I'm not proficient at it) and have not been to figure what my next step should be. What I'm trying to do is to extract some blocks of text into an array using PHP. The text looks like:</p>
  
  <pre>
  Saturday, August 03, 2013  
  DUMP                   Pickup:   LITTLE ROCK, AR  
  Dest:  CALDWELL, TX   
  HOPPER                Pickup:   BEECH GROVE, IN  
  Dest:  TERRE HAUTE, IN  
  Sunday, August 04, 2013  
  HOPPER                Pickup:   JONESBORO, AR  
  Dest:  BATTLE CREEK, MI  
  LIVE BOTTOM         Pickup:   JONESBORO, AR  
  Dest:  TAYLOR, MO
  </pre>
  
  <p>Now because formatting I cant show all the spaces, for instance between DUMP and Pickup there are about 3 tabs worth of spaces. </p>
  
  <p>So what I want is to put the blocks including dates into an array. Using <code>^(?:Mon|Tues|Wednes|Thurs|Fri|Satur|Sun)day,(.*)</code> gives me just the lines with the date on it and using <code>((.|\n)*)</code> instead of <code>(.*)</code> selects all of it. How can I make this regex to select from the date all the way to the last entry before a new date appears assuming n number of entries.</p>
