Find the Page Urls - php

Question

I have page and I don't show a specific block to a specific urls.
So my urls are www.example.com/products/product1.html, www.example.com/products/product2.html etc..
So what I want to do. I want to find all the urls that starts with www.example.com/products/ and in those urls, exclude the block.
So far my code for one url is:
<?php
$a = "www.example.com/products/product2";
$p = curPageURL(); ?>
<?php
if($a == $p ){
Dont show the block
?>
But I have 100 urls that I don't show the block.
Is there any change to do for all the urls without write 200 lines of code?

Answer 1

Use PHP's strpos
This function will check if the specified string exists in the URL and if it exists, do not show the block.
$findme = 'www.example.com/products/';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
if ($pos === FALSE) {
// SHOW BLOCK
}

Answer 2

Try with strpos()
$cururl= "http://.".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$pos = strpos($cururl, '/products/');
if ($pos !== FALSE) {
// products found do your stuff
}

I think you can do this with the in_array()-function like this:
$blockedUrlArray[] = "www.example.com/products/product2";
$blockedUrlArray[] = "www.example.com/products/product3";
.
.
.
$searchUrl = curPageURL();
//if the current Url is not in blocked Urls
if(!in_array($searchUrl, $blockedUrlArray){
//do something
}
//if the url is a blocked url
else{
//do something
}
