use preg_split, and array_pop. Sample code:

<?php

$dirs = array("httpdocs/user_images/", "httpdocs/user_images/home", "httpdocs/user_images/home/lastest", "httpdocs/user_images/home/lastest/monday","httpdocs/user_images/home/lastest/friday");    
foreach ($dirs as $_) {  
                $bits = preg_split("|/|", $_);
                print $_ . " --> " . array_pop($bits) . "\n";
}
