Parsing a string to another string in PHP

Question

I have a string that looks like "/Images/Folder/1.jpeg" or "/Images/Folder/55.jpeg"

How do I parse this string so I can get the digit "1" or "55" for example into a string of its own?

The /Images/Folder/ and the ".jpeg" will be constant so I could use them as delimiters.

Regex is nice but really not needed for something so simple (in reply to someones deleted comment). php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php — Jesse

The pathinfo() function exists specifically for breaking down a filepath like this: $digits = pathinfo("/Images/Folder/1.jpeg", PATHINFO_FILENAME); — Mark Baker

You can use this:

$s = "/Images/Folder/1.jpeg";
$temp = explode('/', $s);
$temp2 = explode('.', $temp[count($temp) - 1]);
echo $temp2[0];
