PHP - Extract second last value in array - php

Question

I have the following array:
["theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3"]
How can I extract the second last value in the array, then the second part of that value after the comma e.g. "Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear"?
This should result, for example, in 'strandyear'.
The actual value, not the position from the end, will be different for other arrays.
PHP 5.3.3...

Answer 1

What about the following ...
$secondLast = array_slice($source, -2, 1);
The PHP function array_slice can do the job in one line of code.
Then you 've got the second last entry from the original array. Now you can explode the string with a comma.
$parts = explode(",", $secondLast);
$strand = array_pop($parts);
The first line explodes the string by a comma. The second line gives you the last part (strand) of all exploded parts.

Answer 2

Try This,
First do json_decode()
then get secondLast then do strstr() to get value after comma and the do ltrim() thats it.
$str = '["theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3"]';
echo $str;
$array = json_decode($str);
$secondLast = $array[2];//count($array)-2
echo'<pre>';print_r($array);
echo $secondLast.'<pre>';
echo ltrim(strstr($secondLast, ','),',');
die;
OUTPUT:
["theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3"]
Array
(
[0] => theme
[1] => 1,strand
[2] => Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear
[3] => Year 3
)
Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear
strandyear

Answer 3

Best way to get the second last value in the array
end($array);
$second_last = prev($array);
after that you cant get the second part i.e the value after comma you can use
explode(separator,string) //function in PHP
$temp= explode(',', $second_last);//converted to an array
$second_part=$temp[1];

Answer 4

<?php
$a = ["theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3"];
$b = explode(',',$a[1]);
$c = $b[1];
var_dump($c);
// tring(6) "strand"

Answer 5

Use explode explode
Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string
formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delimiter.
usage: explode ( string $delimiter , string $string [, int $limit = PHP_INT_MAX ] ) : array
$arr = Array("theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3");
$secondValueAfterComma = explode(',',$arr[2]);
echo $secondValueAfterComma[1];

Answer 6

You may do like
$arr = ["theme","1,strand","Medical Ethics and Law,strandyear","Year 3"];
Here is your code to access 2nd last element
$value = $arr[count($arr)-2];
