Answer 1

$path = '/dude/stuff/lol/bruh.jpg';
$path = explode('/', $path);
unset($path[1]);
$path = implode('/', $path);

Will separate the string into an array, then unset the first item (technically the second in the array, since the first element will be empty due to the string starting with /). Finally the path is imploded, and you get:

/stuff/lol/bruh.jpg

Answer 2

You could use strpos with substr:

$string = '/dude/stuff/lol/bruh.jpg';
$string = substr($string, strpos($string, '/', 1));

The strpos to look for the position of the / after the first one, then use substr to get the string starting from that position till the end.

Answer 3

Try this :

$string = "/dude/stuff/lol/bruh.jpg";
$firstslash = strpos($string,"/",1);
$secondstring = substr($string, $firstslash+1);
echo "String : " . $string;
echo " <br> Result : " . $secondstring;

Answer 4

You can use a regular expression to extract resource name you need.

preg_match('/(?P<name>[^\/]+)$/', $path, $match);

Then you have to use $match as array, and you can see the name inside of it.

$match['name];
