Check if URL has certain string with PHP

Question

I would like to know if some word is present in the URL.

For example, if word car is in the URL, like www.domain.com/car/ or www.domain.com/car/audi/ it would echo 'car is exist' and if there's nothing it would echo 'no cars'.

Answer 1

Try something like this. The first row builds your URL and the rest check if it contains the word "car".

$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];


if (strpos($url,'car') !== false) {
    echo 'Car exists.';
} else {
    echo 'No cars.';
}

Answer 2

I think the easiest way is:

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "car") !== false){
// car found
}
