You are looking for the parse_url function, followed by basename to return the last /item/. The following prints register-car.

  $parsed = parse_url("http://www.abc.com/blog/2012/12/register-car?w=Search&searchDmv=Go", PHP_URL_HOST);
  echo basename($parsed['path']);

$parts = parse_url("www.abc.com/blog/2012/12/register-car?w=Search&searchDmv=Go", PHP_URL_PATH);
$pieces = explode($parts, "/");
$action = $pieces[count($pieces)-1];

You can use a combination of parse_url and basename, or even pathinfo to help you with this.

In PHP < 5.4.7

$url = "www.abc.com/blog/2012/12/register-car?w=Search&searchDmv=Go";
$result = basename(parse_url("http://" . $url, PHP_URL_PATH));
echo $result; // register-car

In PHP >= 5.4.7

$url = "www.abc.com/blog/2012/12/register-car?w=Search&searchDmv=Go";
$result = basename(parse_url("//" . $url, PHP_URL_PATH));
echo $result; // register-car

try this:

<?php 

 $url = "www.abc.com/blog/2012/12/register-car?w=Search&searchDmv=Go";

 $register_car = basename(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));

 echo $register_car; // will echo "register-car"

?>
