PHP Parsing From Right

I have a string like $filename = "stack.over.flow.zip" and I want to parse it and take just "zip" part from the string. I spend 3 hours on php.net. However, I couldn't found any method. By the way, there is not just a string, there are lots of variables.

Try this,

$pathinfo = pathinfo('stack.over.flow.zip');
echo 'Extension: '.$pathinfo['extension'];

will produce:
Extension: zip

Function used: Pathinfo()
