   Hi,
   I have a custom field that will include a link similar to this:
   http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg

   The variable will be:
   $url = http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg

   I need to somehow isolate the following part and put it in a variable of its own:
   http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/*2177060015*_258bcfaff9_m.jpg

   so I would end up with something like this:
   $var = '2177060015'

   Is there any way to do that?

   The following code is untested, but the theory should yeild the results you are looking for.

   $url = 'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg';
   $filename = basename( $url );
   $parts = explode( '_', $filename );
   $var = $parts[0];
