Stripping folder name from variable

[alanl1]

Hi professionals

 

 

I am passing a variable through to a page and it shows the filename and folder

 

 

$newname = $_GET['newname'];  //The Uploads/ folder will need to be stripped here to retreive the filename...
echo "the filename is " . $newname;

$sql = "exec importSAR " . "'" . "$newname" . "'";

 

 

exec importSAR 'uploads/output.csv'

 

 

 

I only want it to show the filename for my stored procedure

 

 

so it says

 

exec importSAR 'output.csv'

 

 

can this be done, can the uploads/ part be removed

 

 

 

thanks in advance
