need a case by case variable for a keyword in URL

i need to show modules based on keywords found in the URL.

Example, in this URL I have the word "automobiles": hxtp://www.ehrcompare.com/reviews/automobiles

The keyword may be in any number of locations in the URL, so I can't be very specific - just that the word is in the url somewhere.

I have a working metamod that uses this but it's too specific:

Code:

if ( JRequest::getVar('url') == 'search-results' ) { 

  $brand = (JRequest::getVar('jr_specialties')); 

  switch ($brand) { 

    case "Allergy": return 382; 

    case "Audiology": return 383;

How could I rewrite that code so that the keyword can be anywhere in the URL?

Re: need a case by case variable for a keyword in URL

Hi,

I would use the following JomGenius code:

if ($core_genius->check("url contains automobiles")) return 383;
if ($core_genius->check("url contains allergy")) return 382;

That should do it :-)
