I think basename() should do what you want. Check the docs to be sure.

I guess that would work too. I tend to like playing with regex. Anyway,
the regex way I would use is:

preg_match('/^.*\/(.*)/', $url, $patharr);

$patharr[1] would hold the filename.

Anyway, that's just academic since the basename() does exactly what you
need. I just put it here to keep my regex good.
