Parsing a string

[llebron]

I need some help. I'm new to php and programming.

I have a form that sends a variable with an url
$filename="http://www.somewhere.com/file.html"

How can I manipulate this string so that I can get just the "file.html" part?

Thanks,

Luis

I've not used it before but you could try the parse_url() function.
goto www.php.net
Click on quick ref
and enter parse_url

The documentation is on the light side for this function but there is enough to experiment with
