Checks if a string ends with a specific word in php?

Question

There are many questions like this question but I can not find exact answer. And I am unfamiliar Regular Expresion topic.

I wanted to know if $variable ends with "books".

For example :

$variable = "some-historical-books". 

So, I will display books page if it ends with books.

Thank you.

Maybe you should look into a tutorial. What you are looking for is an anchor, that marks the end of the string.

if(preg_match('/books$/', $variable))
    // redirect to books page
