don't use split() here - there is no need for regexp.
use explode() instead.

$csvstring = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
echo "route "; // humor me
echo $element5 = current(array_reverse(array_slice(explode(",", $csvstring), 0, 6)));
echo $element5 = end(array_slice(explode(",", $csvstring), 0, 6));

not as short as perl - unfortunately there is no valid
syntax that allows dereferenced access to array elements (AFAIK).
