Help getting directory names from url for SEO

LionMedia

Hi,
I have a script that currently pulls the file name from a url and returns the result to a template tag that can be used in the page Title Tag.

so http://www.mysite.com/directory1/directory2/directory3/some-web-page.html

will result in the output Some Web Page. However, what I'd like to have is this:

Directory1 Directory2 Directory3 Some Web Page

Here is the current code in the script. What is the best way to accomplish this? (I'm not a programmer)

function sefTiger_metatitle()
{ global $config;

$filepag2 = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], ".html");
$sefTmetatitle='';
$pre= strrpos($filepag2, "-page");
if ($pre !== false)
////// Add in a stripper to take non numbered page out of titles
{$rest = substr($filepag2, -5);if ($rest=='-page'){$filepag2=substr($filepag2,0, -5);}

$sefTmetatitle=str_replace( $config["seo_url_seperator"],' ', $filepag2);
$sefTmetatitle= ucwords ($sefTmetatitle);}
return $sefTmetatitle;}

Some food for thought:

$url = 'http://www.example.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/file.php?var1=1&var2=2';
$parts = parse_url($url);
echo "<pre>".print_r($parts,1)."</pre>\n";
$dirs = preg_split('#/#', dirname($parts['path']), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
echo "<pre>".print_r($dirs,1)."</pre>\n";

Output:

Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => www.example.com
    [path] => /dir1/dir2/dir3/file.php
    [query] => var1=1&var2=2
)

Array
(
    [0] => dir1
    [1] => dir2
    [2] => dir3
)

Thanks NogDog.

Sorry I'm new to php. How would I get the URL dynamically? In other words, I need to have this work for all pages and recognize the URL for each one.

Something like this?

<?php
$string = '';
$urlParts = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$pathParts = pathinfo($urlParts['path']);
if(!empty($pathParts['dirname'])) {
   $dirs = explode('/', trim($pathParts['dirname'], '/'));
   foreach($dirs as $dir)
   $string .= $dir . ' ';
}
$string .= $pathParts['filename'];
echo ucwords($string);

That was exactly what I needed. Thanks!!!
