So - create another field on your form.  Add an onclick event to your 
submit button.  Have it run a js function that takes the two fields and 
places them into the new field.

function combineFields()
{
   var mm = document.getElementById("monthfld").value;
   var yy = document.getElementById('yearfld").value;
   document.getElementByID("mmyy").value = ""+mm+yy;
   return true;
}

Might have to play with this syntax to avoid the values being 
arithmetically added instead of concatenated, but this is one way.

And of course - you could try posting on a js site instead of a php one.
