Pages have the canonical name yyyy-mm-dd or yyyymonth, so I used

$FmtPV['$PageMonthNum'] = 'strftime("%m", strtotime(substr("$name",0,9)))';
// extract month number from page name
$FmtPV['$PageYear'] = 'strftime("%Y", strtotime(substr("$name",0,9)))'; //
extract year from page name

thanks very much
