Hi again everybody, well, I've asked it before, but I couldn't work on this at all. As some knows I have a system witch has a category system. The generic part of the site is handled by a generic module called contents... generic like products, services, company, etc. Where the content layout and structure is quite the same. Well suppose that I have this: http://www.the_company.com/site/products/product_one/requirements/ requirements.html Where: site/ <---- the controller products/ <----- alias module for content module product_one/ <----- top category

requirements/    <----- nested category
             <---------- as many nested categories as needed

requirements.html <----- article is called searching using it without the .html, witch is used to know that it is an article and not a category. ('WHERE article_path='requirements' AND category_id='022') My problem is that how can I handle those categories!!!!!!!!!!!!! and build a three of it.

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;
    }
