php-regexHow to match the end of a string when using regex in PHP?

To match the end of a string when using regex in PHP, you can use the $ character. This character is used to indicate the end of the string. For example:

$string = 'This is a string';
$pattern = '/string$/';

if (preg_match($pattern, $string)) {
    echo 'Match found!';
}

Output example

Match found!

The code above uses the $ character to match the end of the string. The $pattern variable contains the regular expression /string$/, which looks for the string string at the end of the string. The preg_match() function is then used to check if the pattern matches the string. If a match is found, the echo statement is executed.
