# Detect URL for If statement

 * In WordPress I would like to to show a custom header.php if the URL contains 
   a specific string (in this case /support/ also to include /support/forums/). 
   I have looked around and have tried many different combinations, but cannot seem
   to get it to work. Below is the code I have, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
 *     ```
       if (substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, 5) !== '/support') {
       get_header('drive_doc');
       } else {
       get_header();
       }
       ```
   
 * FYI… I need it to work this way (I think) because I am using custom post types
   and therefore cannot use standard WordPress calls because it is just a slug and
   not a Post/Category/.etc.
 * Thanks!!

 * is the file name of your custom header file
    `header_drive_doc.php` ?
 * That is what is required with `get_header('drive_doc');`
