$pages->has() method

Is there any page that matches the given $selector in the system? (with no exclusions)

  • This can be used as an “exists” type of method.
  • Returns ID of first matching page if any exist, or 0 if none exist (returns array if $verbose is true).
  • Like with the get() method, no pages are excluded, so an include=all is not necessary in selector.
  • If you need to quickly check if something exists, this method is preferable to using a count() or get().

When $verbose option is used, an array is returned instead. Verbose return array includes page id, parent_id and templates_id indexes.

Available since version 3.0.153.

Usage

// basic usage

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
