Use the PHP explode(separator,string,limit) function to get month and year separated.

Note that here the parameter limit is optional.

According to your main question, it should be like the following.

$expiry = explode("/", $request->expiry);
$month = $expiry[0];
$year = $expiry[1];

On the input you can use a javascript mask with the format MM/YYYY and in the controller just explode('/',$request->input('expiry')); with month = $exploded[0] and year = $exploded[1]

$checkMe = "12/19";
echo date('m',strtotime($checkMe));
echo "<br>";
echo date('y',strtotime($checkMe));

$date = explode('/', $request->input('expiry')); // 12/22
$month = date[0];
$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('y', $date[1]);
// get the full year
$year = $dates->format('Y'); // output : 2022

But be aware, if you use the format character 'y' in createFromFormat()... PHP documentation says:

'y' > A two digit representation of a year (which is assumed to be in the range 1970-2069, inclusive)

You can use the PHP method print_r(explode("/",$str)); Thanks.
