<?
	$str = "../images/gallery/New-Goa-Park-in/86ffbca77051448489aec640d288153a.jpg";
	$str_exploded = explode("/", $str);
	for($i = 0; $i <= 3; $i++)
	{
		$new_str .= $str_exploded[$i]."/";
	}
	echo $new_str;
?>

1:get the index of '/' from that's String
2:stor the above index
3 search for another '/'
id there ,, jump to step 1
other wise copy subString from index 0 to latest index of '/'

just get the latest '/' within assumed string

Or you can look around on the php.net manual and find the nice dirname function.
