I needed it some days ago in following situation: I have a path, let's say

$path = 'extension/some/relative/path';

and I want to extract the name of the extension and get the path:

$parts = explode('/', $path, 2);
// $parts[0] => 'extension'
// $parts[1] => 'some/relative/path';

very useful indeed!
