There are3 ways:

1) Reverse the string, store it in another string, read the first character of this new reversed string.

2) Print the (size-1) index of the string array, ie. str[size-1] (assuming, array index starts from0).

3) Use a combination of PHP end() and key() functions to achieve the same.
