in this example, the array is empty, so you need to assign a value to the array.

Try this one instead

$testing = '10';
$array = array(1,2,3,10);
$end = end($array); // this would equal to 10


if($testing == $end){
print 'yes\n';
}else{
print 'no\n';
}


If you want to give up end(), you can use:
$testing = '10';
$array = array(1,2,3,10);
$end = $array[count($array)-1];


if($testing == $end){
print 'yes\n';
}else{
print 'no\n';
}


If I would be you, I would try to keep integers as integers and not as
strings, so I would have used '$testing = 10;' instead of what you have.
