PHP Separate URL String

I have a really simple question that I couldn't solve using online help...

Well I have an URL, eg. "www.google.com/hello/xxxxxxxx"

What I'm trying to do is get that xxxxxxx and print it. I have already gathered the URL of the page I want to split with a SQL statement, and it is now stored in the $row['url']. I have tried to get it it split when it reaches an "/"

This is my code right now:

$url = preg_split("[/.-]", $row['url']);
print_r($url);

But it doesn't work? Right now it doesn't even print anything... and I don't know what else to try!

How about using end() with explode():

echo end(explode('/', $row['url']));

Output is: xxxxxxxx.

Is this what you are looking for ?

$url = "www.google.com/hello/xxxxxxxx" ;

echo substr( strrchr( $url, '/' ), 1 );

Output: xxxxxxxx
