Examples of the translations I need to do:

$stringDate = "November 2009";  $output = "11/09";
$stringDate = "October 1 2010"; $output = "10/01/2010";

$stringDate = "January 2010"; $output = "01/10";
$stringDate = "January 9 2010"; $output = "01/09/2010";

Note that I do not know which format the $stringDate will be in and the lack of commas in the month day year set.

Thanks for any help anyone might offer.
