How to show block on specific pages?

Posted by new123456789 on January 16, 2013 at 12:58am

How would I go about displaying a block on all pages with the url that ends with "/thenameofmypage" or anything that begins with "/thenameofmypage?"

I basicaly want to display the block on the search page and the results page.

I was thinking of something along the lines of this, but not sure about the search results part (with the ?+ at the end)

<?php
$match = FALSE;
if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, 10) == '/thenameofmypage')
{ $match = TRUE;}
return $match;
?>

Show block on specific pages:
nameofmypage

Works, I just didn't notice it because my blocks weren't displaying correctly and all sorts of other issues :(
