Simple reg help please

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

i tried ereg_replace(",([a-zA-z])*$"," and ",$string);

but i forgot how to add the "d" which is also matched now back to the
" and "

Can you give any good reg_exp sites where to learn it?
Its long ago since i used reg exp and i lost the hang of it... :(

btw. any sites that have reg_exp that works witht PHP would be fine.
i know http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html
But that examples dont work with preg_match and ereg.

Thanks ^_^

Try this:

$pattern= "%,([\w\.]+)$%";		//put any line ending punctuation in the []						
$replace= " and $1";  			//may need $replace= " and " . $1;

$string= preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $string);
