Start from the end of the string and work backwards until you hit the
second /. Untested code follows:

$flag = false;
for ($i = strlen($url); $i > 0; $i--)
{
if ($url{$i} == '/')
{
if ($flag == true)
{
/* we have our match */
$url = substr($url, $i);
break;
}

/* got the first / */
$flag = true;
}
}
