Simple reg help please

i want to match the last "," in "a,b,c,d" and replace it with " and "


Without using a regexp, you could do:

<code>
  $string = 'a,b,c,d';
  $letters = explode(',', $string);
  $last_letter = array_pop($letters);
  $final_string = implode(',', $letters) . ' and ' . $last_letter;
</code>

Not very efficient - but should work...

Nah found a solution ^^

My regular expression is as follows: ereg_replace (",([[:alnum:][:space:]]*)$"," and \\1",$string)

Thanks for the help =)
Note: that expression does not work with string who have other signs than "," in it e.g. "!" or "?".
