substr reads left to right. Craigs code will work if your description  
is always two characters and your year is one or more characters.

// Adds a slash before the first to characters of the string.
$series_description = '/'. substr($series, 0, 2);

// Gets the remaining characters after the first two characters.
$series_year = substr($series, 2);
