I have input string: '10/22'
where 10 is number of month and 22 is number of year. I need to convert it to dd-mm-yyyy
date. So I wrote script to do it:
<?php
$date = '10/22'; // m-y date
$date = '01/' . $date; // Gets d-m-y date (01/10/22)
$base_year = 2000;
$date_parts = explode('/', $date);
$date_parts[2] = strval(intval($date_parts[2]) $base_year); // Gets 4 digits year (2022)
$date = implode('/', $date_parts); // Joins array elements with a string
$new_date = str_replace('/', '-', $date);
$dmy = DateTime::createFromFormat('d-m-Y', $new_date)->format('d-m-Y'); // Creates date with specified format
echo $dmy; // Will display 01-10-2022, this is what I need
But I am afraid that this way is too bad and I need help to make this script more optimal, if such way exists. Any tips?

You can complete this in just 2 lines with exploding the current date on /
and then imploding them later on with an array_merge
like below:
<?php
$date = '10/22'; // m-y date
function getFormattedDate($date){
list($month,$year) = explode("/", $date);
return implode("-",array_merge(["01"], [$month],["20". $year]));
}
echo getFormattedDate($date);

One liner:
echo DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/y', '01/'.$date)->format('d-m-Y');
