Check for string in URL

Question

How can I check for a specific directory in my URL? I need to display an image if I'm in http://www.mywebsite.com/displayimg/mypage but not if I'm in http://www.mywebsite.com/mypage... would it be something involving drupal_get_path?

What you exactly want to do ? please explain in a better way — TBI Infotech, Commented Sep 19, 2014 at 9:46
what are 'displayimag' and 'mypage'? are they strings or ids? what? — Krishna Mohan, Commented Sep 19, 2014 at 9:46
displayimg is a directory in my website. If the page points to it, I need to find a way to get the info from the URL and instruct Drupal to display a particular img on my page (mypage). — Jane, Commented Sep 19, 2014 at 9:48

You can use arg to check for URL arguments. In your case, the second argument has to be empty, so you can try something like this:

if (arg(0) == 'displayimg' && arg(1) == 'mypage') {
  // Do something meaningful.
}

Better to use block to display image. Use block visibility setting for displaying on specific URL.
