coding help required from expert!!!

I have a simple problem!

I am not very well versed in PHP, JAVA is my cup of cofee...

Any way, what I am trying to do (using PHP) is simple

I would like to get the URL of the page and store it in a variable.

I would then like to search the variable for a string

e.g

If I have a domain www.somedomain.com/somepage.php

Then I would like to store in in $somevariable

I would then like to check $somevariable for the string 'somepage'

can anyone help!!!!

 

does this work for you?

$path=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];

PHP:

ok now to check for the string somepage....checking....

$somepage="document"; 
if (strpos($path,$somepage)!=0)
 echo "Found it.";

PHP:

does that work? I don't work with strings much and I'm something of a php newbie myself...

If it doesn't work, I'm sure rvarcher or JD or Shawn will clear things up for you.

 

If $somepage is found at the beginning of $path, strpos() will return 0. You need to check for false with the type-sensitive equality operator.

$somepage="document"; 
if (strpos($path,$somepage)!==false) {
    echo "Found it.";
}

PHP:

 

ooo right.

thx.

 

thanks, I've got it to work!!!
