Tip: Add a {last_segment} global variable

EE Insider guest contributor and web developer Erik Reagan posted another useful ExpressionEngine tip:

Erik includes the code you need as well as a couple of links to some last_segment add-ons. Read the whole EE Insider Tip: Add a {last_segment} global variable
