php if else not working with main root / only working for index.php

[ianhaney10]

I have some php code that says if index.php or main root then display some code and if not then show other code and it works on index.php but if it's just the domain name without index.php at the end, it don't work. I have the following code at the moment
 

<?php $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if($currentpage=='/' || $currentpage=="/index.php" || $currentpage=="index.php" || $currentpage=="" ) {
?>

Can anyone help me out please as I don't know what to amend for the code to work if main root and not have index.php at the end, the code should be the same for the main root / and index.php

Is "index.php" defined as the default document name?

How about something like this?
 

<?php 
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ($currentpage == '/' || $currentpage == '/index.php') {
    // Code for root or index.php page
} else {
    // Code for other pages
}
?>

Barand's solution is righ.The issue you're facing is likely because the URL behaves differently depending on whether index.php is explicitly mentioned. The code snippet you provided should work, but it can be simplified for clarity. Here's a refined version:

 

<?php
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if ($currentpage == '/' || $currentpage == '/index.php') {
    // Code for root or index.php page
} else {
    // Code for other pages
}
?>
