I have a parameter $name that contavins e.g. "Turn left at Blooming
Grove Turnpike/Quassaic Turnpike/RT-94 Continue to follow RT-94".
I just want to have the last word. The number of words will be different
each time.
I looked at http://be.php.net/manual/en/book.strings.php but I either
did not see it or I am looking at the wrong place (or both)

As often happens, I found it right after posting, evin if I was looking
for it for a long time:
$name="your text with words. try to find the last word using several
spaces before the last word gsvdfg5412f_tw4 t=agast3)(@35.\ n";
preg_match("/(?<=\040)([^\s]+?)$/",trim($name),$ matches);
$name = $matches[0];
Found it on http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12649

Well, you could use something like:
$name = trim($name); // Strip leading/trailing white space
$pos = strrpos($name, ' '); Find the last space
if ($pos === false) // If there is none
$word = $name; // Then only one word
else
$word = substr($name, $pos+1); // Get everything following the space
echo $word;
Assuming, of course, you always have a space as a word separator.

It is, thanks for the feedback.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
