Selecting albums in PHP from AJAX Photo Album

I am planning to make a description of Photo album depending on which album is currently showing. As I can see in address bar, it gives  "album"  variable, for example
.....&album=newphotos#1

I have tried to check which album is active using this:

however that is not working and "if" doesn't pass. If I change it to

then "if" always passes, no matter which album is active in address bar.

How should I check a current album in PHP? Thanks.

Try

Yep, that worked! Thanks a lot!
