Use explode() to convert from string to array and use end().

   <?php
   $arr = ",book,farm,chop,cook";
   $a = explode(',', $arr);
   print_r(end($a));

Optional solution with strrpos which finds position of last occurence of ,. After that you can use substr to get a substring starting from the next position:

$str = ",book,farm,chop,cook";
print_r(substr($str, 1 + strrpos($str, ',')));

Using strrchr() and a ltrim() to tidy up you could do this

$valt = ",book,farm,chop,cook";
echo ltrim(strrchr($valt,','),',');

Result

cook

$valt = ",book,farm,chop,cook";
$r = explode(",",$valt);
$a = array_key_last($r);
print_r($a);
