Hide a div based on url

[Thomshaw]

Hi all,

 

Relitively new to PHP but am trying to code a site that dynamically creates urls using Joomla CMS. Basically I'd like a div to show on pages' url starts /component/.... but hide it if not. The urls of the pages on which the div is to be hidden start /index.php?.

 

I've tried

 

<?php 

		   if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'component') > 0) {
		   echo '<div id=\"stuffdiv\">stuff</script></div>';}

	?>

 

only issue is... its always fasle hence the div never shows. If i replace > with >= its always true, and appears on all pages, even those not containing 'component'...

 

Can someone tell me if this should work or if Im being really stupid?

 

Thanks in advance! Tom

Sorry, dont know how to edit post the </script> isnt there, is a reference to whats in the div i copied accross!

[cpd]

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'component') !== false) {
    echo '<div id="stuffdiv">stuff</script></div>'; // You do not need to escape the double-quotes unless you create the string using double quotes.
}

Amazing CPD thanks so much, worked with a little jiggery pokery

 

 

<?php 

		   if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'foo') == false) {
    		   echo '<div id="stuffdiv">stuff</div>';}

	?>

 

where foo appears in the url of the page on which the div should be hidden
