PagesPathFinder::get() method

Get verbose array of info about a given page path

This method accepts a page path (not URL) with optional language segment prefix, additional URL segments and/or pagination number. It translates the given path to information about what page it matches, what type of request it would result in.

If the response property in the return value is 301 or 302, then the redirect property will be populated with a recommend redirect path.

Please access this method from $pages->pathFinder()->get('…');

Below is an example when given a $path argument of /en/foo/bar/page3 on a site that has default language homepage segment of en, a page living at /foo/ that accepts URL segment bar and has pagination enabled;
