[SOLVED] If the URL contains something, then add some html

[RodrigoDC]

Hello,

 

I've been working none stop for two days on a proyect and I have ran into a roadblock. I believe it is simpler than I think, so pardom my tireness please 

 

I need to create a simple statement that goes like this:

 

If the URL contains something like index.php?id=10, then do nothing, else, include some HTML, such as a table.

 

How would I do that?

 

Again, sorry if this overly basic, but my brain is fried. Thanks a million....

Just check the URK:

 

if ($_GET['id'] == 10)
{
// do nothing
}
else
{
// do something
}

 

The $_GET[] array contains what is in your URL (in this case, index.php?id=10)

<?php

if(strpos($url, "index.php?id=10") !== FALSE) //found
  ...
else //not found
  ...

?>

 

 

Orio.

My Gosh, and it only took an entire 10 minutes to figure out!!

 

Thanks!!

 

Orio's answer above appears more flexible in my case, since my URLs contain much more than just the ID, i.e., index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=16&Itemid=27.

 

Thanks to both Orio and Wes1890.

 

The forum rocks (even if my head's spinning

<?php

if(strpos($url, "index.php?id=10") !== FALSE) //found
  ...
else //not found
  ...

?>

 

 

Orio.

 

Note that this will only return true if ID is the very first variable. so website.com/index.php?id=10&foo=bar will work.. but website.com/index.php?foo=bar&id=10 will not work. Also, website.com/someotherpage/?security=problem&index.php?id=10 will return true, when it obviously shouldn't. Just checking the _GET variable would probably be best in this situation.

Actually, I don't believe the issue was solved.

 

Here is the code I have within my index.php template page:

 

										<?php
										if(strpos($url, "index.php?Itemid=54") !== FALSE) {
											?>
											hello world
											<?php
										}
										else {
											?>
										<img src="trans.gif" width="1" height="14" border="0" alt="spacer">
										<?php
										}
										?>

 

However, when I visit the page index.php?Itemid=54, I should see "Hello world", but no such luck. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks again in advance...

But $url doesn't contain the current URL... You need to define it:

 

$url = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

 

Orio.

[RodrigoDC]

Yes, Orio, you were absolutely correct! My apologies. This is just a symptom of my 39th. hour without the pleasures of sleep.

 

In fact,

 

if ($_GET['id'] == 10)

 

does the trick beautifully.

 

Kudos Orio...and good night!
