Question

<?php
$error = 'error';
$check = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if($check == "/bleachers.php") 
{
    echo 'bleachers';
} 
elseif($check == 'runners.php') 
{ 
    echo 'runners'; 
}
else
{ 
    echo $error;
}
?>

I’m trying to figure out why this is not working. I am trying to echo out a text based on the url of a website. If the url is site.com/bleachers.php echo bleachers
elseif site.com/runners.php echo runners else echo error.

I type in the url site.com/bleachers and error prints out instead.

Start with changing:

else echo $error;

into:

else echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

this should help you determine what should actually be in the if statements.
