Thanks, that seems like a great answer. Not sure why my question got two down votes. Seems like a straight forward question with a straightforward answer. Thanks for your help. – Jeff Sep 01 '14 at 14:24

@Jeff it is a straightforwarded question. And that's why it's downvoted. There are questions regarding this subject already – Déjà vu Sep 01 '14 at 14:25
@Jeff [Just a quick example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1361741/get-characters-after-last-in-url?rq=1) – Déjà vu Sep 01 '14 at 14:26
@Déjàvu, if you know anything than it doesn't mean to vote down other. if the question is irrelevant than it's understandable. – Ram Sharma Sep 01 '14 at 14:27
@RamSharma I didn't downvote him. I'm just saying that there are other questions like that on this site and people might've downvoted him for that. – Déjà vu Sep 01 '14 at 14:31
@RamSharma But if the question "doesn't show any research effort", it's candidate to downvote. If I search "get the last part of a url php" in google, the 3 first results are **exact** duplicates to this question ... – Clément Malet Sep 01 '14 at 14:31
In that case put the question on hold or mark it as duplicate that's it. – Ram Sharma Sep 01 '14 at 14:32
