The variables $mm and $md had their substr() positions and inline
comments swapped — $mm was extracting the day digits (position 8)
while $md was extracting the month digits (position 5), contrary to
what the comments indicated.

The output was accidentally correct because the two mistakes cancelled
each other out in the mktime() call, but the misleading naming posed
a future maintenance risk.

Corrects the substr() positions and mktime() argument order so that
variable names, comments, and logic are all consistent.
