Question

I have this string:

http://localhost/whatever/index.php/something/cms-abc.html?___SID=U

I want to get the cms-abc from that string. I tried:

/cms-.+/

But this will give me the stuff behind cms-abc as well. How do I solve this?

Thanks 🙂

No need for regex:

$url = 'http://localhost/whatever/index.php/something/cms-abc.html?___SID=U';
$parts = parse_url($url);
echo basename($parts['path']);

or even just

echo basename(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));
