Check if URL has certain string with PHP

Question

I would like to know if some word is present in the URL.

For example, if word car is in the URL, like www.domain.com/car/ or www.domain.com/car/audi/ it would echo \

Answer 1

$url = " www.domain.com/car/audi/";
if (strpos($url, "car")!==false){
    echo "Car here";
}
else {
   echo "No car here :(";
}

See strpos manual

Answer 2

strstr didn't exist back then?

if(strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "car")) {
   echo "car found";
}

This must be one of the easiest methods right?

Answer 3

$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];


if (!strpos($url,'car')) {
    echo 'Car exists.';
} else {
    echo 'No cars.';
}

This seems to work.

Answer 4

worked for me with php

if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'shop.php') !== false){
echo 'url contains shop';
}

Answer 5

You can try an .htaccess method similar to the concept of how wordpress works.

But I'm not sure if thats what your looking for exactly per say..

Answer 6

Have a look at the strpos function:

if(false !== strpos($url,'car')) {
    echo 'Car exists!';
}
else {
    echo 'No cars.';
}
