With SplFileInfo:

SplFileInfo The SplFileInfo class offers a high-level object oriented interface to information for an individual file.

Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/splfileinfo.getfilename.php

$info = new SplFileInfo('/path/to/foo.txt');
var_dump($info->getFilename());

o/p: string(7) "foo.txt"
