[SOLVED] Confusing date behaviour.

[Tim Curtis]

Here's the function if you want to add the line that strips the hyphens

/var/www/inc/music-library.php

Code:

// Priority: OriginalDate, OriginalReleaseDate, Date
function getTrackYear($trackData) {
    if (array_key_exists('OriginalDate', $trackData)) {
        $trackDate = $trackData['OriginalDate'];
    } else if (array_key_exists('OriginalReleaseDate', $trackData)) {
        $trackDate = $trackData['OriginalReleaseDate'];
    } else if (array_key_exists('Date', $trackData)) {
        $trackDate = $trackData['Date'];
    } else {
    $trackDate = '';
   }

   // Strip dashes from MusicBrainz dates (contrib: general@dlg.xyz)
   $trackDate = str_replace("-", "", $trackDate);
   // Set month to 00 if not present
   $trackYear = empty(substr($trackDate, 4, 2)) ? substr($trackDate, 0, 4) . '00' : substr($trackDate, 0, 6);

    return $trackYear;
}
