Very simply:

$id = substr[$url, strrpos[$url, '/'] + 1];

strrpos gets the position of the last occurrence of the slash; substr returns everything after that position.

As mentioned by redanimalwar if there is no slash this doesn't work correctly since strrpos returns false. Here's a more robust version:

$pos = strrpos[$url, '/'];
$id = $pos === false ? $url : substr[$url, $pos + 1];

from os.path import basename

$str = basename[$url];

You could explode based on "/", and return the last entry:

print end[ explode[ "/", "//www.vimeo.com/1234567" ] ];

That's based on blowing the string apart, something that isn't necessary if you know the pattern of the string itself will not soon be changing. You could, alternatively, use a regular expression to locate that value at the end of the string:

$url = "//www.vimeo.com/1234567";

if [ preg_match[ "/\d+$/", $url, $matches ] ] {
    print $matches[0];
}

You can use substr and strrchr:

$url = '//www.vimeo.com/1234567';
$str = substr[strrchr[$url, '/'], 1];
echo $str;      // Output: 1234567

array_pop[explode["/", "//vimeo.com/1234567"]]; will return the last element of the example url

Two one liners - I suspect the first one is faster but second one is prettier and unlike end[] and array_pop[], you can pass the result of a function directly to current[] without generating any notice or warning since it doesn't move the pointer or alter the array.

$var = '//www.vimeo.com/1234567';

// VERSION 1 - one liner simmilar to DisgruntledGoat's answer above
echo substr[$a,[strrpos[$var,'/'] !== false ? strrpos[$var,'/'] + 1 : 0]];

// VERSION 2 - explode, reverse the array, get the first index.
echo current[array_reverse[explode['/',$var]]];

Here's a beautiful dynamic function I wrote to remove last part of url or path.

/**
 * remove the last directories
 *
 * @param $path the path
 * @param $level number of directories to remove
 *
 * @return string
 */
private function removeLastDir[$path, $level]
{
    if[is_int[$level] && $level > 0]{
        $path = preg_replace['#\/[^/]*$#', '', $path];
        return $this->removeLastDir[$path, [int] $level - 1];
    }
    return $path;
}
