Removing part of a string

[dk4210]

Hello guys,

 

I want to remove part of a string and convert it to a var instead of echoing it out.. How would I do it..

 

$string = "temp_photo/testing.jpg";

 

I want to remove temp_photo

 

so the out put should be

$filename2 = testing.jpg

 

Please advise..

 

Thanks, Dan

there are several ways to do this.

in this case, I'd do something like:

 

<?php

$string = "temp_photo/testing.jpg";

$string_parts = explode("/",$string);

filename2 = array_pop($string_parts);

One way of doing this is would be to use basename:

<?php
$string = "temp_photo/testing.jpg";
$filename2 = basename($string);
echo $filename2;
?>
