accessing the last index of an array

[furtivefelon]

hello everyone!

for example, i have the following array:
$p = "hello.html.c";
$p1 = explode('.', $p);

now, if i want to access the extension (c, or index 2 in this case), i would have to do $p1[sizeof($p1) - 1].

I'm used to in python's list just doing p[-1] to accessing elements from the back. I was wondering if there is a similarly easy way of doing this in php.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Well, there's end().

try array_pop()

array_pop() will also remove the element from the array, which may be unwanted behavior (the element not be there for future use). OP said nothing about removing, only "accessing".

Actually, in the example, using pathinfo() and its 'extension' index, rather than explode(), would make more sense.
