How to get the last path in the url?

I’m not very good with regex as I haven’t yet come to understand how it fully works to get the right results. I need a regex expression or php function to strip out the beginning of a url to get the last bit without the variables on it.

Input : http: // http://www.site.com/more/more/thepartidneed?part=Idontneed

Other Input : http://www.site.com/more/more/thepartineed?partidontneed

Other input : site.com/more/more/partineed

Results Desired After Stripped :
“thepartineed”

Is this possible?

Answer 1

First you need to check if given URL contains http(s):// at the beginning, if not – append it and then do

$parsed_url = parse_url($url);
var_dump($parsed_url);

You will get something like this:

array(3) {
  ["scheme"]=>
  string(4) "http"
  ["host"]=>
  string(8) "site.com"
  ["path"]=>
  string(20) "/more/more/partineed"
}

If you need only last bit of path you can do

echo array_pop(explode('/', $parsed_url['path']));
