How to conditional logic based on current URL

Question

I'm trying to make an if statement to serve different scripts based on the current URL that the user is on.

this is what I came up with so far, but it seems to not work, thanks

// url to show script A
$url_1 = 'https://www.example.com' ;

// url to serve script
$url_2 = 'htpps://www.example.com/page-to-run-script/';

$request_uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$is_page = strpos($request_uri, '/page-to-run-script/');

if ($is_page == true) {
    // run script A...
} else {
    // run script B...
}

RED BOX FROM THE MANUAL: Warning This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function. — RiggsFolly, Jun 13 '19 at 15:46
how can I target those url's to serve different content or scripts ? because for some reason this is not working. maybe there is a better way — Osh, Jun 13 '19 at 15:47

It should be something like that :

$main_url= parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$main_url_segment= explode('/', $main_url);
$url_2= $main_url_segment[2];
$is_page ="page-to-run-script";
if($is_page == $url2){
   // run script A...
} else {
   // run script B...
}

Found a fix to my problem thanks to all, next stage is to make it as a function that takes in an array of url's.


        // get user url
        $current_user_url = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? "https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

        //list of url's
        $is_page ="https://www.example.com/page-to-run-script";
        $is_category = "https://www.example.com/category";
        $is_home = "https://www.example.com";

        //check if user is in this page
        if ($is_page == $current_user_url || $is_home == $current_user_url) {
            // run script A...
        } elseif ($is_category == $current_user_url) {
            // run script B...
        }
