You can use substr twice, first to get first five digits and second to get last two.

<?php
$string = "2010-2011";

echo substr($string, 0, 5) . substr($string, -2);

see example: https://eval.in/578870

Use Regular Expression (preg_replace) instead like so:

        <?php
            $string         = "2010-2011";
            $desiredString  = preg_replace("#(2010)(\-)(20)(\d{2})#", "$1$2$4", $string);

            echo $desiredString; // DISPLAYS: 2010-11;

str_replace would be easier to use:

$str = '2010-2011';
$replaced = str_replace('-20', '-', $str);
