If it's real number(not quoted by ' or "), you can cut it in math way.

<?php
    $str = 601811002;
    $str_1 = floor($str/100000);  //cut last 5 numbers
    echo $str_1;                  //6081

    $str_2 = floor($str%100000);  //retains last 5 numbers
    echo $str_2;                  //11002
?>

<?php
$str = '0601811002';
$str = substr($str, 0, -4); // Chop 4 characters off of string
echo $str;                          // 060181
?>

I guess all you need is substr:

is http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

More precisely (based on your examples):

<?php
    $cut_5_chars = substr("0601811002", 0, -5);
    $cut_4_chars = substr("0601811002", 0, -4);
    $cut_7_chars = substr("0601811002", 0, -7);
?>

Try it out
