Getting second last parameter from querystring with PHP

Question

I have a URL like so:

http://example.com/var1/var2

What I'd like to is get VAR 1 from the querystring. I've tried using a regex but I'm not really very familiar with them. Is there an easier way?

So if it was `/var1/var2/var3/var4` you would want `var3` as it is second to last? What if it is only `/var1`? — AbraCadaver, Aug 06 '19 at 20:16
Hi, no there will only ever be two and there will always be two :) — Kev, Aug 06 '19 at 20:22
That's actually not a _querystring_ though it may be turned into one later `echo basename(dirname('http://example.com/var1/var2'));` — AbraCadaver, Aug 06 '19 at 20:23

Another approach

<?php
$e = explode("/",parse_url("http://example.com/a/b")["path"])[1];
// $e now is "a"
