PHP redirect if url contains specific string

Question

I have a document called content.php, who server the content list published from two different categories.

So in both cases, catgory_1 list and _category_2 list is server by content.php

mysite.com/category_1/post/

mysite.com/category_2/post/

So, I need to redirect the user to a different page depending on catgory_? list, but without affecting the post inside that category.

Resume :

if you visit mysite.com/category_1/post/ or mysite.com/category_2/post/ ( you get the post)

But :

if you visit mysite.com/category_1/ (you get redirected to page 1) if you visit mysite.com/category_2/ (you get redirected to page 2)

You can do something like this. First get your url path with $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]. Then get all after category_, and if all after category is number then redirect.

$uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$getCategory = substr($uri, strpos($uri, "category_")+9);
$getCategory = str_replace("/", "", $getCategory);

if (is_numeric($getCategory)) {
    header('Location: http://www.example.com/1');
}
else{
    header('Location: http://www.example.com/2');
}
