Here's a simple direct way of extracting the information you need from a string... Suppose your string is "C:/www/vhosts/example.com/images/image1.jpg" which points to an image. Let's assume you want the part "images/image1.jpg". We have to do the ff: <?php $image="C:/www/vhosts/example.com/images/image1.jpg" $image=substr($image,strpos($image,'image', (strlen($image)-strpos($image,'image')))); echo $image."<br/>"; //will give 'images/image1.jpg' ?> --was-- Here's a simple direct way of extracting the information you need from a string...
