Question

I have a series of PHP page, and I would like to use conditional logic to apply different rules to each page. Im not sure if my method is the best way to go about it, so I wanted to see if the community had any recommendations, as this doesn’t feel like the best approach. Code Below:

<?php

     $nameurl = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

     if ($nameurl == "/fs/about.php"){
         echo "about page";
     }

     elseif ($nameurl == "/fs/index.php"){
         echo "home page";
     }
?>

Ideally, I would like to only use the filename (index.php or about.php) instead of having /fs/. Im not sure if there is another way of using $_SERVER with PHP but it seems like there might be a more efficient and reusable way of writing this. Thoughts?

You could use

// get script name
$script     = explode('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$scriptname = $script[count($script) - 1];

switch ($scriptname) {
    case "index.php":
        // Something you only want to show on this page
    break;

    case "about.php":
        // Something you only want to show on this page
    break;
}
