Grab remaining text after last "/" in a php string.

Question

So, lets say I have a $somestring thats holds the value "main/physician/physician_view".

I want to grab just "physician_view". I want it to also work if the passed string was "main/physician_view" or "site/main/physician/physician_view".

Hopefully my question makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

You can use strrpos() to find the last occurence of one string in another:

substr($somestring, strrpos($somestring, '/') + 1)

Answer 2

Use basename, which was created for this exact purpose.

Answer 3

There are many ways to do this. I would probably use:

array_pop(explode('/', $string));
