That's not too difficult. First, you want to chop anything off after the last You can use the command strrpos() to find the position, and then substr to chop it off. However, / is the escape chatacter, so you need to escape that one (/). Finally you need to add +1 the the position since you don't want to include the in the result, so:

CODE
$string = substr($string,strrpos($string,'/')+1);


Then, if you want to get the file extension, do the same thing for the . Because there can be more . in a file name you also search for the latest occurence.

CODE
$string = substr($string,0,strrpos($string,'.'));


And there you have it..
