Wrong syntax, and more code than needed. Your code would always resolve true (if ($matches[0] = "http")). Doing that sets the value of $matches[0] to "http". Equality is ==. RTFM.
If all you want to know is if the URL contains a "http", then...
if ( preg_match ( "/http/i", $path ) ) {
$action = "this action";
} else {
$action = "that action";
}
If you want to know if the URL starts with a "http", then...
if ( preg_match ( "/^http/i", $path ) ) {
$action = "this action";
} else {
$action = "that action";
}

Seems to work but I'm getting a Warning Message:
Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash
Here's the code:
$path = "http://somehost.somedomain.com";;
preg_match ("http", $path, $matches);
if ($matches[0] = "http") { $action = "this action";
}
else {
$action = "that action";
}
Thanks much,

In order to do this I need to use a directive that either contains the directory path or a URL. How do I check the contents of a string to see if it contains "http"?
