Question

I have a variable like $path = "dir1/dir2/dir1/dir4/"; etc.. etc..

I want to remove the first member dir1/ and want result like dir2/dir1/dir4/.

I think it is possible by making the variable an array by explode('/', $path). How can I remove the first member vrom array and reconstruct that array into a text variable??

How can I achieve this in PHP?

According to your updated question

Only explode into two parts, take the second one. In case the second one does not exists, give it NULL:

list(, $result) = explode("/", $path, 2) + array( 1 => NULL);

OR

$array = explode("/", $path);
unset($array[0]);
echo $text = implode("/", $array);
