or just use one of the built-in variables that Apache 
provides for you, like DOCUMENT_URI:

  EXAMPLE: the below example will print "in foo" if
  the DOCUMENT_URI is /foo/file.html, "in bar" if it
  is /bar/file.html and "in neither" otherwise:

    <!--#if expr="\"$DOCUMENT_URI\" = \"/foo/file.html\"" -->
    in foo
    <!--#elif expr="\"$DOCUMENT_URI\" = \"/bar/file.html\"" -->
    in bar
    <!--#else -->
    in neither
    <!--#endif -->

(example taken directly from the docs at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_include#includevars)
