Check if URL has certain string

I am trying to check my URL for certain string if it's there include somePage here is what I try

@if(Request::path()=='/about-project')
         @include('projects.projectDetails.aboutProject')
@endif 

and this is my full URL

http://localhost/elarabiaLaravel/public/project/8/about-project

my full IDEA in native PHP I use to have this done by using if(isset($_GET['val'])) and then switch using cases like:

case 1:
     include 'path/of/my/file.php';
break;

I know Laravel don't use switch after search I came up with this I made my links like so..

<li>{{ HTML::link("project/$viewPro->id/about-project", 'about')}}</li>

and in the ROUTE

Route::get('project/{id}/about-project', 'projectController@viewProject');

if there is a cleaner way to accomplish this I will be happy to learn

thanks
