How to present footer content on certain pages using an if statement - php

Question

I am new to php and I want to only show specific footer content on 2 pages.
I know I would use an if statement, but I don't know if there is way in php to know what page is being displayed.
Here is the footer.php
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying the footer.
*
* Contains the closing of the id=main div and all content after
*
* #package WordPress
* #subpackage Twenty_Eleven
* #since Twenty Eleven 1.0
*/
?>
</div><!-- #main -->
<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo">
<?php
/* A sidebar in the footer? Yep. You can can customize
* your footer with three columns of widgets.
*/
get_sidebar( 'footer' );
?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

Ok, so this is what I came up with, but when I add this code to the footer.php, the entire footer doesn't appear on the site.
I'm sure I just made an elementary mistake so thanks for the help in advance!
<?php
$page = 'shop';
if (is_page($page)) { ?>

Answer 1

Have a look at PHP's server variables. You are probably looking for $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/index.php") {
echo "My stuff to show on /index.php";
}

Answer 2

Check out the WP Codex. I thing is_page() is what you are looking for: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

Answer 3

You can either set a special variable on pages where you would like to check it (and use it in an if statement for the footer), or use the answer by #Christofer Eliasson, which uses the server's REQUEST_URI variable

Answer 4

what you want is:
<?php
if (is_page(array('page1','page2'))) {
<!-- Fotter content displayed here -->
}
?>
