Check for current URI - and include if NOT matched

URL checking with PHP

[espmartin]

Hello,

I've been using this bit of PHP code within my "sidebar.php" file to insert
menu items (external links) depending on what URI is viewed, and and it
works great so far:

<?php
 $homepage = "/";
 $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 if($homepage==$currentpage) {
 include('homepage-only-stuff.php');
 }
?>
<?php
 $antivirus = "/anti-virus/";
 $antivirussub = "/anti-virus/anti-virus-articles.php";
 $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 if(($antivirus==$currentpage) ¦¦ ($antivirussub==$currentpage)) {
 include('antivirus-only-stuff.php');
 }
?>

ETC... (you get the picture :D )

But now I want to exclude my blog pages. I can if I use:

 <?php
 $homepage = "/weblog/";
 $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 if($homepage!=$currentpage) {
 include('non-blog-stuff.php');
 }
?>

But that does not match all the specific post pages, nor do I want to
hard-code every post URI I make anyway :eek:

So, how can I check for /weblog/AnyPostPage-URI/ (as a "wildcard" kind of
match?) and exclude them?

could you use regular expressions to search for the pages you want included?
As if you are using naming like
$antivirus = "/anti-virus/";
$antivirussub = "/anti-virus/anti-virus-articles.php";
Then you should be able to use preg_replace to sort out what files should be attached.

$request = '%^/(.*)/.*%';
$attach = '/$1/$1-articles.php';
$input = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URL'];
preg_replace [uk2.php.net]($request, $attach, $input);
