How to get the last dir from a path in a string

by

Use basename

basename('Home/new_folder/test');
// output: test

As a side note to those who answered explode:

To get the trailing name component of a path you should use basename!
In case your path is something like $str = "this/is/something/" the end(explode($str)); combo will fail.
