I have a string variable that contains a lot of HTML markup and I want to get the last \[code\]<li>\[/code\] element from it.Im using something like:\[code\]$markup = "<body><div><li id='first'>One</li><li id='second'>Two</li><li id='third'>Three</li></div></body>";preg_match('#<li(.*?)>(.*)</li>#ims', $markup, $matches);$lis = "<li ".$matches[1].">".$matches[2]."</li>";$total = explode("</li>",$lis);$num = count($total)-2;echo $total[$num]."</li>";\[/code\]This works and I get the last \[code\]<li>\[/code\] element printed. But I cant understand why I have to subtract the last 2 indexes of the array \[code\]$total\[/code\]. Normally I would only subtract the last index since counting starts on index 0. What im i missing?Is there a better way of getting the last \[code\]<li>\[/code\] element from the string?
