Setting variable based on page requested.?

[nfs2]

I'd like to set a variable based on the page or directory requested. So if sombody went to mysite.com/hello i'd want to set a variable like;

if ($_SERVER['something'] == "/hello") {

$var = 'something';

}

I thought $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] would do it, but it doesn't..

Do you mean the page the user came from? Or the page the user is currently at?

If you mean the referring page, try $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

If you mean the second option, try $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

Well. technically neither of those.. Not exactly, but closer to the second one..

What i mean is, if im at example.com/foo/dir?bla=bar then $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would equal example.com/foo/dir?bla=bar. I just want to set a variable in the header for the directory /foo/

then why not simply do something like the following.

if(preg_match("/foo/i",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
{
//you are in directory /foo
}
else
{
//your not
}

Now obviously you can manipulate the simple example above to better suit your needs.

Cheers,
