php - Extracting the last segment on an URI

Question

String # 1:

/string/morestring/thename

String # 2:

/string/morestring/thename/

Regex:

[^/]*[/]*$

The above regex matches both last segments...

How can the regex match only the last word on both "thename" AND "thename/", with or without final slash?

Answer 1

I would just use basename().
