Get the last value in comma separated string

I have this string: 24.045,25.531,26.890 as php variable $numbers

How can i echo the number after the last comma (in this case 26.890)? The number can vary in size, e.g. 9.04 or 120.34521. So I need to set the last comma as my starting point.

Can I search for the last comma, and echo whatever that is behind it?

You can use explode to split the numbers into an array and end to get the last item of the array:

$numbers = '24.045,25.531,26.890';
$numbers = explode(',', $numbers);
$lastNumber = end($numbers);

Without creating a temporary array with all of the numbers (which you might not need):

echo substr($numbers, strrpos($numbers, ',') + 1);

And if you need to handle strings that might not contain a comma at all:

echo substr(
    $numbers,
    ($lastCommaPos = strrpos($numbers, ',')) !== false ? $lastCommaPos + 1 : 0
);
