Question

Ok i have an xml file like this. . .

<parent> 
 <x url="example/656577/07234/random.swf"/>
 <x url="example1/609456/67856/random1.swf"/>
 <x url="example2/376987/09365/random2.swf"/>
 <x url="example3/956743/04762/random3.swf"/>
 <x url="example4/678543/95265/random4.swf"/>
</parent>

what happens in the xml file all the x children url’s change all the time but always in 3 directorys, what i want to do is to get just the ends of each children’s url like. . .

random.swf random1.swf random2.swf random3.swf random4.swf

I am not familiar with explode but is that a option any answer welcome.
