find first slash from the back ( file path )

Question

I have this line.

$line = '/opt/fings/interface/20140905111645811106.txt 0';

I used this to trip the trailing 0/r/n.

$pos = strpos($lines[$x], ' ');
$file = '.'.substr($lines[$x], 0, $pos);

so I'm left with this /opt/fings/interface/20140905111645811106.txt

But I need the filename alone. e.g. 20140905111645811106.txt

Ho do I grab the string from the back up to the first occurrence of a slash?

Answer 1

You can use basename() in this case:

$line = '/opt/fings/interface/20140905111645811106.txt';
echo basename($line); // 20140905111645811106.txt
