trim filename from a string

[andyau]

I am receiving a string which has in it a full path of the file the
user entered in a previous form. I would like to trim just the file
name from this string.
So rather than having users/andy/images/image.jpg I insert only
image.jpg in to my database table.

I am receiving this as a string not as a multipart form submit the
file has already been placed on the server by this stage.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Cheers
Andy

see pathinfo() in the manual.

I currently have

$photo = basename( $_GET['myfile']['name']);

also tried $temp=basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

Changing the relevant elements.

The element that is coming in on the string is myfile and what is
being inserted into the database is photo.
