Get characters after last / in url

Question

Hi, I want to get the characters after the last / in an url like http://www.vimeo.com/1234567

How do I do with php?

Answer 1

You could explode() based on "/" and get the last entry.

print end(explode("/", "http://www.vimeo.com/1234567"));

Answer 2

Very simply:

$id = substr( $url, strrpos( $url, '/' )+1 );

strrpos gets the position of the last occurrence of the slash; substr returns everything after that position.

Answer 3

array_pop(explode("/", "http://vimeo.com/1234567")); will return the last element of the example url

Answer 4

$str = "http://www.vimeo.com/1234567";
$s = explode("/",$str);
print end($s);

Answer 5

You can use substr and strrchr:

$url = 'http://www.vimeo.com/1234567';
$str = substr(strrchr($url, '/'), 1);
echo $str;      // Output: 1234567

Answer 6

$str = basename($url);
