Get last portion of URL with PHP

In PHP, I have the following string:

$row_data[0] = "\Documents\Images\File";

How do I extract the word File from this string with PHP?

I had tried this but it was unsuccessful.

$end = substr(strrchr($row_data[0], '\'), 1);

use double slash for escape character :

echo 'Hello World';

$row_data[0] = 'Documents\\Images\\File';


$end = substr(strrchr($row_data[0], '\\'), 1);

echo $end;

explode() will split string by \ and array_pop() gets last array's item

$lastItem= array_pop(explode('\\', $row_data[0]));

\ is a escape character so use double slash 

<?php

 $row_data[0] = "\Documents\Images\File";
 $end = substr(strrchr($row_data[0], '\\'), 1);
                                     ^^^^^
 echo $end;

?>

Add \

$row_data[0] = "\Documents\Images\File";
echo $end = substr(strrchr($row_data[0], '\\'), 1);

There are few solutions, I think the one below is easiest, read about pathinfo()

$path   =   '\Documents\Images\File';
$lastPortion    =   pathinfo($path)['basename'];
