function drupal_lookup_path

Given an alias, return its Drupal system URL if one exists. Given a Drupal system URL return one of its aliases if such a one exists. Otherwise, return FALSE.

Parameters

$action: One of the following values:

  • wipe: delete the alias cache.
  • alias: return an alias for a given Drupal system path (if one exists).
  • source: return the Drupal system URL for a path alias (if one exists).

$path: The path to investigate for corresponding aliases or system URLs.

$path_language: Optional language code to search the path with. Defaults to the page language. If there's no path defined for that language it will search paths without language.

Return value

Either a Drupal system path, an aliased path, or FALSE if no path was found.
