Statement that checks whether a URL contains a particular path? - php

Question

Is there an if statement that allows me to check whether a URL contains a particular path?
In my particular case (using wordpress), I'm trying to check wether the URL contains /store/ https://www.website.com.au/store/brand/
So there might be something after that path...
Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

I suggest using WordPress function like is_singular, is_tax, etc..
function get_current_url()
{
$pageURL = 'http';
if (isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) && $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {
$pageURL .= "s";
}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "۸۰") {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . ":" . $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
$url = get_current_url();
if (strpos($url, '/store/') !== false) {
echo 'found';
}else{
echo 'not found';
}

Here is my simpler option to use if you don't want to create a function.
if( strpos( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "/store/" ) !== false ){ /* found */ }

Answer 3

Use strpos() function. it basically finds the position of the first occurrence of a substring in a given string. If the substring is not found, it returns false:
// input url string
$url = 'https://www.website.com.au/store/brand/';
$path_to_check_for = '/store/';
// check if /store/ is the url string
if ( strpos($url, $path_to_check_for) !== false ) {
// Url contains the desired path string
// your remaining code to do something in case path string is there
} else {
// Url does not contain the desired path string
// your remaining code to do something in case path string is not there
}
