Question

I have a path that I want to check for in a url. How would I isolate

‘pages/morepages/’
http://www.mypage.com/pages/morepages/

I’ve tried running a parse url function on my url and then I get the path. I don’t know how to access that key in that array though. For example..

$url = 'http://www.mypage.com/pages/morepages/';

print_r(parse_url($url));

if ($url['path'] == '/pages/morepages/') {
    echo 'This works.';
};

I want to run an if conditional on if that path exists, but I am having trouble accessing it.

If you’re just looking for one string within another, strpos() will work pretty well.

echo strpos( $url, $path ) !== false ? 'Exists' : 'Does Not Exist' ;
