Simple question: Stripping off part of a string

[lecichy]

Hello

Its not that I want somebody to do work for me, I really read all about
preg_replace and other pregs and strs but cant actually do this one:
A specific example of code would be very appreciated.

$path = "/var/www/help/index.php";

the path can differ, there are more or less dirs but there always is
"/var/www" part and I want to strip it off and get whatever comes after
that.
I really cant understand these preg_replace parameters like
("/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e", So could anyone help me in the above specific
example ?
