Set variable based on what Request_URI contains

[bravo14]

Hi Guys

I have a site in three different languages and different urls based on the language, these are set by the .htacess

What i want to do is if a user goes to the italian page of notizie/1 then set the variable based on that

I have the request URI of [REQUEST_URI] => /notizie/1 so if the request_uri says notizie/1 (news_id) include the italian variables, if the page is news/1(news id) include the english defintions and if it is set to noticias include the spanish variables.

How could I see what the request_uri variable contains instead of equal to?

if you want to see the page and therefore the variables go to www.covattiracing.com/news/1 or www.covattiracing.com/news/2

Not sure I understand what you're asking. If you're asking how to determine if one string is contained within another string, then one solution is to use [man]strpos/man (or [man]stripos/man).

EDIT: Note that another solution (one I personally would opt for) is to not change the URL based on the user's language selection. After all, who cares if the user can read the URL? The URL is meant for the server to parse and understand.
