Remove second character only, in a string

I have a set of strings. Their values can be different from string to string. Here is an example of three strings:

$string1 = "505";
$string2 = "500";
$string3 = "601";

I need to remove the second 0 only yielding:

$string1 = "55";
$string2 = "50";
$string3 = "61";

I have tried substr, str_replace and ltrim but cannot produce my desired results. Ideas?

You can use
$string = substr($string,0,1).substr($string,-(strlen($string)-2));

Combine substr and str_replace and you get substr_replace:

$string1 = substr_replace($string1, '', 1, 1);
