Here is a quick wordpress development tip to help you load posts into the wordpress loop based off the category slug in the URL. This assumes you are using the postname permalink structure for your url, e.g. mysite.com/category/testcategry.
In your functions file add this function:
[php] function getLastPathSegment($url) {
$path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
$pathTrimmed = trim($path, ‘/’);
$pathTokens = explode(‘/’, $pathTrimmed);
if (substr($path, -1) !== ‘/’) {
array_pop($pathTokens);
}
return end($pathTokens);
}
[/php]
This function will process the slug we will pass to it from the template file. In your template file:
[php] $slug = getLastPathSegment($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]); // Get the last slug item// WordPress Loop as normal
[/php]

Any HTML/CSS web designer who doesn’t know PHP can certainly make good use of this PHP include statement. PHP includes are very useful for making global changes on smaller HTML/CSS websites, just as CSS is a tool to easily make global changes to styles and layouts.
