If you're matching a string and not a pattern then it is far more efficient
to use strpos:
if (strpos($path, '/realtors') !== FALSE) {
echo 'Success';
}

The "container", as you called it, are delimiters. They can be about any
character you choose; but, stay away from preg

It's a good habit to use delimiter characters that you can be certain will
not be included in your strings. Then, you
don't need to worry about escaping them in your string.
