[Resolved] Migrating from ColdFusion MX

[innovations]

I have converted my website to php because of the cost of having a ColdFusion server and I am needing some help migrating.

In Coldfusion I could check my template page was in a certain directory by using the following code:

<cfif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME CONTAINS "contact"></cfif>

That code would read the current directory path per the url (ex: http://somesite.com/contact/index.php) and if the sequence of letters "contact" could be found anywhere in the url then it would result as TRUE.

Is something like this possible in php? This is a very easy approach and would hate to have to forfeit it.

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'contact') !== false) {
    //  Do something
}
?>

strpos looks for one string within another, and returns the position if found, or boolean false otherwise. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is a pre-defined variable which holds the path of the current file being executed.

That is exactly what I was looking for!!!

Thank you very very much! I had all kinds of script going on trying to re-invent the breadcrumb technique in php.

<?php
			$cwd = getcwd();
			$dir = substr(strrchr($cwd, "/"), 1);
			$location = substr("$title",0,strpos($title, '|'));
			if ($location != "Home "){
				echo "<h5>You Are Here:</h5>";
				echo "<a href='http://somesite.org' >Home</a> \ <a href='index.php'>" . ucfirst($dir) . "</a>" . " \ " . $location;
			}
			?>

This pretty much created my breadcrumb on every page execpt the home page, but with one little caviat - instead of echoing the folder name for $dir, the script code output "public_html".
