Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).

$url = request_uri();
if (strpos($url, "viewtest")) {
return TRUE;
}

thanks for the help..
actually I was making silliest of all mistakes..
I was putting a 'slash' prior to the path and that was preventing it from working..

I was writing /test/argument instead of test/argument..

This seemed to work for me but I have the same problem where the uri ends ?page=1

e.g.

/en/press_release_en

/ar/press_release_ar

works but

/en/press_release_en?page=1

does not.

Anyone know why this is not working in Drupal?

I'm not sure, but you could try path/pagename*
I know that wildcards work in similar situations.

To be more exact, this is not working with Drupal page views in Drupal 7.

Works fine in 6.

in the php block visibility

I got some thing like this which works for a specific url (views page) and a node id (normal node )
and a taxonomy term id 

  // This snippet returns TRUE if the node we are
  // currently viewing is tagged with a term which is
  // the 'desired_term' and we are not in edit mode (arg(2)).

  // put here the term ID you're interested in
$desired_term = 17;

// get the url   
$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

// find the url if it contains works with ?get=some_thing (views filter)
$myurl = 'http://somefullurl.com/somepath';

if (strlen(stristr($actual_link,$myurl))>0) {
// url Found
return TRUE;
}
  if ( arg(0) == 'node' and is_numeric(arg(1)) and arg(2) == FALSE ) {
    // Yes, we're viewing a node in view mode.

    $node = node_load(arg(1)); // cached
	// if node id = some thing 
	  if ($node->nid =="14") {
	  return TRUE;
	  }
    // If the term does not exist we're done
    if (is_array($node->taxonomy)) {
      foreach ($node->taxonomy as $term) {
        if ($term->tid == $desired_term) {
          return TRUE;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  return FALSE;
  // works D6X

Now my question is how do you target the view page (the correct way )
some thing like: if ($view->view_title ='the_view_name'){ }
still scratching my head
