Hello Guys,

I have a question related to pattern matching and wildcards. This is the
scenario.

I have friendly urls on my website. So retrive their path as arguments for
every page.

so for example if I have www.xx.com/contact/me my args array will be

args(
0 => contact,
1 => me
)

My requirement is to change the page title on the fly with specific
patterns, so what I do is define a look up table with these columns.

path, pageTitle

contact/me - Contact US

perfect match would be easy because I can exactly look for what I want.

It becomes tricky when I introduce wild cards like contact/* for example. It
could also be contact/me/*

How would I match patterns for this kind of relative matches.? Any ideas
anyone?

Thanks,
V

Use preg_match function to do that.
