but this returns the full year.

any help is much appriciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Change the upper case 'Y' to lower case 'y'

echo date("y");

PHP documentation

y   A two digit representation of a year

Answer 2

You can use substr() method of PHP to get the last two digit of a year as follows.

$year =  2011;
$year = substr( $year, -2);

The above code gives 11 as a output which is the last two digit of 2011.

Answer 3

See this documentation. It's date("y"). So a lowercase y instead of Y.
