When I have a url like www.xx.ccom/a/b/c for example, what I do is get an array of abc, ab, a Then I run a union query for all three combinations. So basically select * from {lookup_table} WHERE path = 'abc' UNION select ........ Then I just retrieve the first row mysql_fetch_object. That is what I need. Thanks Anyways V
