I have a string like "green beans are great"
I would like to match only the last word of the string. What would the regex be to match "great"?

[nrg_alpha]

$str = 'green beans are great?';
preg_match('#[\w.?!]+$#', $str, $match);
echo $match[0];

ouputs:

great?

I added the .?! in case you need the punctuation as well.. if not, then simply use this instead:

$str = 'green beans are great?';
preg_match('#(\w+)[.!?]?$#', $str, $match);
echo $match[1];

ouputs:

great

This second example checks for any of the listed punctuation marks in the character class as optional (but is not included in the capture).

[Weedpacket]

$string = 'green beans are great';
$last_word = substr(strrchr($string, ' '), 1);

Depending on what a "word" is.
