If current URL contains..

[mattrobs]

I'm looking for a PHP script that basically acts that, if the URL (of the current page) contains 'archives', paste this, if not, paste that.

use the variable $PHP_SELF:

<?php
if( strpos( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'archives') !== 0 ) {
 // Do stuff
} else {
  // Do another sutff
}
?>

:cool:

<?php
if( strpos( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'archives') !== 0 ) {
 // Do stuff
} else {
 ?// Do another sutff
}
?>

Using that, how could I add:

• if address contains this, or that; and
  
• if address contains ' /news/ '
  

Thanks.

Just use a switch then:

<?php
switch( dirname( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
case '/archives':
  // Do stuff
break;
case '/news':
 // more Stuff
break;
default:
 // not matching none of the above
break;
}
?>

:cool:

is there a string to specify "if it contains /news/ AND any two numbers, do this"?

I'll give you a hypothetical scenario. Say one went to domain.com/news/. It displays something. Say he clicked on a subpage domain.com/news/814. It should display something else.

[self-Thought]One would ask the obvious question, why don't just change the text manually? Say it was a template and the template is being used on all those pages and you just want to change a minute detail between each. [/self-Thought]

why not use Regex(regular expressions)

/news/(\d{1,3})

or something like that, for the record I know nothing of php, but thats what I'd do in .net, and I asume that you have regex in php.

i'd agree, but if regex scare you, you could do something like this:

$path =  explode('/',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$count = count($path);

if (intval($path[$count-1]) > 0 && $path[$count-2] == 'news')
{
	echo 'good match';
}
else 
{
	echo 'no match';
}
