For Example let the path be,

$path = "protected/musics/composer/album/song.mp3";
I can extract the file name with the use of basename() function.
$path = basename($path, ".mp3");

Also I want to extract the last two directory names in a variable
example
$composer_name = composer //(extracted from the path $path);
$album_name = album //(extracted from the path $path)

Could you please someone help me out of this? Thanks in advance.

PHP Code:

$pathArr = explode('/', $path);
//    0        1        2        3        4
//"protected/musics/composer/album/song.mp3"
$composer = $pathArr[2];
$album = $pathArr[3]; 


Hey NullPointer Thank you so much man it works, I'm sorry it may be a silly question I'm a newbie to php.
