I have a parameter with the content of e.g.
$film="/media/video/download/tv/Lost Girl" All I want is the 'Lost Girl'
part so it becomes $film="Lost Girl"
I am a bit at a loss as to what to use. Most likely trivial to do, I am
sure, but my knowledge of php is too limited that I am not even sure
what to enter as a search.
