Answer 1

How about this get last words or simple get last word from string just by passing the amount of words you need get_last_words(1, $str);

public function get_last_words($amount, $string)
{
    $amount+=1;
    $string_array = explode(' ', $string);
    $totalwords= str_word_count($string, 1, 'àáãç3');
    if($totalwords > $amount){
        $words= implode(' ',array_slice($string_array, count($string_array) - $amount));
    }else{
        $words= implode(' ',array_slice($string_array, count($string_array) - $totalwords));
    }

    return $words;
}
$str = 'I like to eat apple';
echo get_last_words(1,  $str);

Answer 2

Get last word of string

$string ="I like to eat apple";
$las_word_start = strrpos($string, ' ') + 1; // +1 so we don't include the space in our result
$last_word = substr($string, $last_word_start);
echo $last_word // last word : apple
