switch logo based on url

In page.tpl.php place the following code: This example uses strpos() which is less resource intensive but may run into problems on pages where the url contains both sub strings, eg. example.com/marketplace/blog/ may behave like a blog instead of a marketplace. N.B. All code to be further tested and modified.

 <!--?php
 
$url_tail = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 
if (strpos($url_tail, "/blog/") !== false)
{
	#output blog logo
}
elseif (strpos($url_tail, "/marketplace/") !== false)
{
	#output marketplace logo
}else
{
	#output logo as normal
}
 
?-->

While this example uses preg_match() which is slower but more precise:

 <!--?php
 
$url_tail = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 
if (preg_match('/(\/blog\/)(.*)/', $url_tail))
{
	#output blog logo
}
elseif (preg_match('/(\/marketplace\/)(.*)/', $url_tail))
{
	#output marketplace logo
}else
{
	#output logo as normal
}

Less theme overhead

Using this code means that you don't have to have different themes if only the logo is changing. Block visibility can be used in conjunction with this to create 'virtual themes', but only using one theme.
