Or you put sjmg answer in one line ;)

$name = array_pop(explode('/','http://mycloud.net/4d4bf89da2e38.jpg'));

You don't need those functions, you only need to split the string.

$cadena='http://mycloud.net/4d4bf89da2e38.jpg';

$vec=explode("/",$cadena);

$name=array_pop($vec);

and you have the value in the variable $name

Use basename() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php. It is probably faster then regexp and it would be cross-platform

Using basename() would probably be better in this case. But to answer your question title, you would use substr() to get a substring from a piece of text.

basename('http://mycloud.net/4d4bf89da2e38.jpg'); // returns 4d4bf89da2e38.jpg

$name = pathinfo('http://mycloud.net/4d4bf89da2e38.jpg', PATHINFO_BASENAME);

[^/]*$

will give you everything after the last slash.

In PHP:

if (preg_match('%[^/]*$%', $subject, $regs)) {
    $result = $regs[0];
} else {
    $result = "";
}

But isn't there a library available to deal with file paths?
