If you’re working with dates, use DateTime::createFromFormat:

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ym', '201705');
echo $date->format('Y/m');

See the example on ideone

If it’s just one string with this standard, you can use substr_replace: 

echo substr_replace('201705','/', 4, 0);

See the example on ideone

    Or echo preg_replace('/ d{4}/', '$0/', '201705');

  • You could give it as an alternative in a new answer, @Marcosxavier

  • Because it is very simple, I found it complementary here instead of an answer.
