function path_is_admin

Determines whether a path is in the administrative section of the site.

By default, paths are considered to be non-administrative. If a path does not match any of the patterns in path_get_admin_paths(), or if it matches both administrative and non-administrative patterns, it is considered non-administrative.

Parameters

$path: A Drupal path.

Return value

TRUE if the path is administrative, FALSE otherwise.
