Answer 1

Straightforward:

$parts = explode('_', $string);
$last = array_pop($parts);
$parts = array(implode('_', $parts), $last);
echo $parts[0]; // outputs "one_two_three"

Regular expressions:

$parts = preg_split('~_(?=[^_]*$)~', $string);
echo $parts[0]; // outputs "one_two_three"

String reverse:

$reversedParts = explode('_', strrev($string), 2);
echo strrev($reversedParts[0]); // outputs "four"
