Get last part of the link

We have a link like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9281910/h1-and-semantic-html5

How do I get the part, which is before the last and after last but one /?

In this example we would get h1-and-semantic-html5

More examples:

From the link http://dribbble.com/highlights/2012/ we get 2012

From http://www.apple.com/iphone/ we get iphone

basename should provide what you're looking for:

php > echo basename("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9281910/h1-and-semantic-html5");
h1-and-semantic-html5

php > echo basename("http://dribbble.com/highlights/2012/");
2012

php > echo basename("http://www.apple.com/iphone/");
iphone

Read more about it in the documentation.

$fin = preg_replace('#.*/([^/]+)/?$#', '$1', $whole);

Grab the last portion of non-forward slash characters (potentially followed by a forward slash)
