Taking part of a URL

[xxDriveNxx]

Hey everyone,
I am confused by how to get a script to take a chunk out of a URL. I was reading here, and found a solution that was close to what I need, but not exact.

That ereg_match will result in

/word-word-word/word-word-word.html

Now when you can live with that, you can find what you want using PHP, as sample:
[php]
$text='http://www.website.co.uk/word-word-word/word-word-word.html';
preg_match_all("/^(https?:\/\/)?([^\/]*)(.*)/i", "$text", $matches);
echo dirname($matches[3][0]);[/php]
That will give you

/word-word-word

I need something close to that, but what I need it to do is to be able to take the end of the URL, not the middle. What I'm trying to to is get it to take the end of the URL, so that I can provide a direct link to it from the script to delete the old file. The extension will vary from .jpg/.png/.gif, so I need to make sure that is able to continue to vary, too. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Heya, DriveN.

Check out basename() (http://php.net/basename).
