You could replace your substring with nothing
http://ie.php.net/str_replace
or are you trying to get the path without knowing the filename?

ya i wont necessarily know the name in advance... i need to go from the end of teh string to the first '/' and chop that off.

Thanks

It would probably be better to use RegEx or something but here is the quick and nasty way of doing it:

[php]<?php
function get_file_name ($string) {
$string = explode("/", $string);
return $string[sizeof($string)-1];
}

$string = "http://www.thesite.com/image1.jpg";
$filename = get_file_name($string);
?>
[/php]

You could use the built in basename function.
