Remove text between last 2 slashes (PHP)

Question

I have made a system with browsing files; Now I have a problem:

My path string like this: A/Abba/2004/

I want to remove the text between the last 2 slashes (which is 2004 in this case).
So the output should look like A/Abba/

Can anyone help me as how to archive this in php?

Thanks.

If you try to remove last part of string you can do this this way:

$input = 'A/Abba/2014/';
$array = array_filter(explode('/', $input));
array_pop($array);
$correct = implode('/', $array);

array_filter removes empty strings from array

explode converts string to array by given delimiter

array_pop remove last item from given array

implode converts array to string using given 'glue'
