If the user name is always at the end, you can use explode('/', $string) and take the end() of the resulting array.

Hi I have a string that I would like to extract the user name from. The string looks like the following:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/kidrauhl" rel="ugc nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/kidrauhl</a><br />
<br />
The string will always have a different user name attached to it like:<br />
<a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/testUser" rel="ugc nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/testUser</a><br />
<br />
How can I always be sure to grab the user name?<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks!

PHP get part of string

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
