Ok so actually I didn't solve it. Php5, this works, but php 4.4.1 and
4.4.0 don't handle this correctly. Here's my code I'm running on each
box:
function expDate2str( $date )
{
if( !($sDate = strtotime( $date ) ) )
{
echo "Invalid, blowing up date<br />";
// exploded date
$eDate = explode( '/', $date );
// string date
$sDate = strtotime( date( "Y-m-d", mktime( 0, 0, 0,
$eDate[0], 1, $eDate[1] ) ) );
}
else
{
echo "valid<br/>";
}
echo "In: " .$date ."<br />Out: ". date( "Y-m-d", $sDate ) ."<br
/><br />";
}
expDate2str('1/2009');
expDate2str( date( "n/Y"));
Here are the results:
Php 5.1.2
Invalid, blowing up date
In: 1/2009
Out: 2009-01-01
Invalid, blowing up date
In: 8/2006
Out: 2006-08-01
PHP 4.4.1
Valid
In: 1/2009
Out: 2011-07-02
Valid
In: 8/2006
Out: 2012-01-27
PHP 4.4.0
Valid
In: 1/2009
Out: 2011-07-02
Valid
In: 8/2006
Out: 2012-01-27
Any work around with these types of dates on php4?

I've always been really amazed at how well strtotime works, but recently
ran into an issue where it couldn't figure out the date if it was a cc
exp date in long format, e.g. 1/2009. I was curious if anyone else has
run into this and how did they get around it, here was my solution:
function expDate2str( $date )
{
if( !($sDate = strtotime( $date ) ) )
{
// exploded date
$eDate = explode( '/', $date );
// string date we hard code the day to 1
$sDate = strtotime( date( "Y-m-d", mktime( 0, 0, 0,
$eDate[0], 1, $eDate[1] ) ) );
}
return $sDate;
}
Thanks, Mark
