[SOLVED] Analyze current URL for a directory?

[tmallen]

I need to hide a part of my site from certain pages, all of which can be found in the projects/ directory. How can I test for this being in the current URL?

[~n[EO]n~]

you can find the current page like this

<?php
## this line will return the current page ::
$pageName=basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] );

## this will search filename in current directory 
$filename = $pageName;

if (file_exists($filename)) 
{
   	echo "The file $filename exists";
} 
else 
{
    echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
