thank man. yes for the frontend.
problem with yours is that it trims the X chars and I have different directory so it bounds to break at some point.
I was thinking on some preg replace or basename will work better. but can't cook it.

something like this:

$url = "http://www.domain.com/path/to/file/filename.php";
$filename = basename($url);
echo $filename; //filename.php

I'm trying to setup a files list for clients to download. Manager user will tick the boxes of relevant filenames in backend. using @DIRECTORY and delimited list let's me *almost* get it but the files appears with full path and extra / in the path.

When I try @DIRECTORY with the hyperlink widget it comes out clickable and valid but I have to set the display name, and that part I want to be the file name. If I use [*product_files*] I get PHx memory error.

will take any ideas that you have on that.

Ah, I thought you were in the front end. Another case where @SNIPPET would come in handy.

You could do it with a monster @EVAL using readdir(). You could create the code in a snippet in the front end to test it before pasting it into the TV.
Can you give an example of what the Input Options string would look like?

BTW, there is a System Event called OnTVFormPrerender so you might be able to do what you want with a plugin.

Here's a phx modifier that returns file name from path.

<?php
$path = pathinfo($output);
return $path['basename'];
?>

See pathinfo in php docs.

Very nice. I was looking for pathinfo() but couldn't remember what it was called in PHP.

BTW, I think this will do it also:
return $basename($output);
