Extracting the last segment on an URI

Question

String # 1:

/string/morestring/thename

String # 2:

/string/morestring/thename/

Regex:

[^\         


        

Answer 1

Another option:

$last = array_pop(preg_split('#/+#', rtrim($s, '/')));

Answer 2

jeroen's basename solution is very good but might not work on windows, it would also cut out the extension if the URI ends with .something too.

I'd do this:

 $last = array_pop(explode('/',rtrim($s,'/')));

Answer 3

I would just use basename().

Answer 4

[^\/]+\/?$
