A non-regexp solution that comes to mind is to use substr() to extract
the bits you want from the filename, assuming the filenames to be always
as your example. So:
$month = substr($filename,0,2);
$year = substr($filename,4,2);
Then you have the string values for month and year in the respective
variables.
