First thing to do is to get clear on what EXACTLY you want to do. This
helps in programming tremendously.

If you want to extract everything following the last "/" up to, but not
including the next ".", then look up regular expressions and preg_match
in the manual.

If you want to divide the string up at every "/" and take the last, look
up "explode" and "count" in the manual.

But I would actually start by understanding what $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
returns. This is a predefined variable, and you can find it under that
name in the manual.
