Is it a true hierarchy, or is it a heterarchy? In other words, can "sub_category_57" appear in *TWO* different branches in the tree? If *NOT*, then you really don't need all the nested categories in your URL: As soon as you have the "bottom" category, you've already got all the others in your database. Of course, you could simply walk through $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and build your category list: <?php $parts = explode('/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; $controller = $parts[0]; $module = $parts[1]; unset($parts[0]); unset($parts[1]); $categories = array(); while (list(, $cat) = each($parts)){ if (!strstr($cat, '.html')){ $categories[] = $cat; } } ?> -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
