PHP Get end string on url between / and /

I have this code to get the last part of the url between / and / at the end.

The url is:

http://mydomain.com/category/mobile/

I need to retrieve “mobile” from it.

The code i’m using is:

$url = trim($url, '/');

//Put it in a variable
$the_category = substr($url, strrpos($url, '/'));

//whats in it?
echo $the_category;

The above returns nothing … any ideas?

Answer 1

You should explode an array using “/” as the delimiter and then get the last value of the array, like so:

<?
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$url = trim($url, '/');

$array = explode('/',$url);

$the_category = end($array);

//what's in it?
echo $the_category;
?>
