remove file path from string

[c_shelswell]

Hi

does anyone know how i might remove the file path from a string. I'm guessing i use eregi or something like that just can't figure out how to do it.

say i have [b]"E:\Documents and Settings\The King\Desktop\annaalien.jpg"[/b]

and i want to end up with just [b]"annaalien.jpg"[/b]

the file path will be different each time.

Many thanks

here..
from the manual
[code]
<?php
function GetFileName($file_name)
{
      $newfile = basename($file_name);
      if (strpos($newfile,'\\') !== false)
      {
              $tmp = preg_split("[\\\]",$newfile);
              $newfile = $tmp[count($tmp) - 1];
              return($newfile);
      }
      else
      {
              return($file_name);
      }
}
?>
