How to find the last element of the array

Question

I am trying to find the last element in the array by using foreach loop.

I have..

  foreach ( $employees as $employee ) {

         $html.=$employee ->name.'and ';

  }

I don't want to add 'and' to the last employee. Are there anyways to do this? Thanks a lot!

There's another way, I suppose:

$html = implode(' and ', 
  array_map(function($el) { return $el->name; }, $employees));

It's simple: array_map will create an array of $employee->name elements, and implode will make a string from these, using ' and ' string as 'glue'. )

A cleaner approach than having a counter in your foreach could be to simply remove the final "and " off of your string.

foreach ($employees as $employee) {
    $html .= $employee->name . 'and ';
}
$html = substr($html, 0, strlen($html) - 4);
