How to get the last item of a nested array?

Question

I have this array:

$results = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

/*
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 191
            [range] => today
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 190
            [range] => today
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 189
            [range] => in last week
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 180
            [range] => in last week
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [id] => 170
            [range] => in last week                  <- this
        )
)
*/

I'm trying to get the vale of range which is last item. in this case it is in last week. Here is my code:

foreach ( $results as $item ) {
    $last_range_item = $item[range];
}

My approach should work, but there is a lot of useless processes and overwriting. So is there any better way?

use array_column($arr, 'range'). using this you can do it. or use echo $result[count($result)-1]['range']. — Murad Hasan

You can get the last range using different ways.

 1. echo $result[count($result)-1]['range'];
 2. $new = array_column($arr, 'range'); echo $new[count($new)-1];
 3. and so on....

Very simple way:

echo end(end($arr));

@Stack do it in steps $temp = end($results); echo end($temp);

@Stack Take a look at this. You can also suppress error message using @ operator, but thats not nice work-around tho.
