So i have variable

$var = "how-to-stack-overflow"

I want to ECHO "overflow", or the last word from the string upto a hyphen.

Please show any method to accomplish this, I know this question may have duplicates, but i am a newbie and can't figure out how to put regex expressions using PHP(many valid answers are just the regex without any php), Thanks a lot in advance :)

PLEASE ONLY SHOW USING NEWBIE PROOF PHP

  • What have you tried so far? Based on your tone, it feels like that you just would like to get the answer for a homework, but I may be wrong. Please take a look at [how to be nice on Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/help/be-nice) and prove it that you have been trying to solve your problem. – toraritte Jul 07 '18 at 00:01

/\w+$/

grab one or more word characters up to the end of the string.

Demo: https://regex101.com/r/onEfF8/1

Edit: Example in php

$var = "how-to-stack-overflow";
$regex = preg_match('/\w+$/', $var, $match);
$match = $match[0];

echo $match;
