I need to remove every characters before the last "/"

This my url :

Answer 1

Use basename()

$str = 'http://www.example.com/highlights/cat/all-about-clothing/';
echo basename($str);
// Outputs: all-about-clothing

EDIT:

Another Solution:

$str = 'http://www.example.com/highlights/cat/all-about-clothing/';
$path = pathinfo($str, PATHINFO_BASENAME);
echo "<br/>" . $path;

Answer 2

Use PHP's parse_url() function.

edit: basename() or pathinfo() is the easier way.
