You can use.

•preg_replace()

•substr()

there a several ways to do this you'll find.. I will give one way..

 

$string = "90/_featuredarticles/2011/12";
$offset = strpos("/",$string);
$new_string = substr($string,$offset);

not working

for some reason strpos() is not locating the first "/", honestly im not sure why...

so lets use the reg ex method instead..

 

<?php
$string = "90/_featuredarticles/2011/12";
$pattern = "~[0-9]*/(.*)~i";
preg_match($pattern,$string,$matches);
print $matches[1]; //ouputs  _featuredarticles/2011/12
?>
