Credit Card Expiration Date Error

jwilliamsen — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 18:55:43 GMT

I have a rare problem on a live system in some code from an outside developer I hired. The error message comes back as "Please provide valid expiration year." The expiration date was entered as "10/22". Here is how it is being formatted. It is being sent with JSON. What format is expected?

function evaluateFormFields()...
expirationDate = $.trim($("#txtExpirationDate").val()).replace(" / ", "");

function sendCCDataToAnet()...
var ccExpireMonth = expirationDate.substr(0,2);
var ccExpireYear = expirationDate.substr(2,2);

It appears that the code is presuming that the entered expiration date is in the form "MM/YY". The code is only attempting to extract the last two digits of the provided number as the year, despite the error notice indicating that a proper expiration year is expected.

The format used to insert credit card expiration dates is commonly "MM/YYYY," where "MM" stands for "month" and "YYYY" stands for "year." To handle this format and extract the relevant numbers for the month and year, the code needs to be modified.
