beginner

I have a following string and I want to extract image123.jpg.

..here_can_be_any_length "and_here_any_length/image123.jpg" and_here_also_any_length

image123 can be any length (newimage123456 etc) and with extension of jpg, jpeg, gif or png.

I assume I need to use preg_match, but I am not really sure how to code it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
