PHP

@ericatekkaFeb 22.2010 — #I'd do soemthing like SERVERURL then explode it. then store each array into its own variable.

@ericatekkaFeb 22.2010 — #Lets say the url is /property/rent/apartment/banglore.html

$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$urlstr = explode($url,"/");

$prop = $urlstr[0];

$type = $urlstr[1];

$apartment = $urlstr[2];

$lastone = explode($urlstr[3],".");

$last = $lastone[0];

That won't get you the requested URL, just the URL of the currently executing script.

@OP, I assume this is coming in via a rewrite like this:

&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond &amp;#37;{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
 &lt;/IfModule&gt;

You can then explode on the slash to get the URL parts, but I think you need to clarify your requirements a bit more - will the URL always follow this exact structure? What happens if the URL has fewer elements? If the URL is not coming via rewrite, where is the value coming from?

@criterion9Feb 22.2010 — #I'd use mod_rewrite (assuming apache) and convert them into GET variables. That is probably the easiest way and doesn't require any extra coding in the application.
