Because you've given it an array. Your original question never mentioned
you were using parse_url() on the original array string. parse_url()
breaks the string into its component parts, much like my explode
example.

Ahh.. that makes sense. Thanks Ash.

OK, sorry for any confusion.

Here is all my code:

$url = "http" . ((!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "s" : "") . "://".
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$thepath = parse_url($url);

So, given that the URL can vary as follows:

/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/anothersubdirectory/mypage.php
vs.
/mydirectory/mypage.php

How do I get the either of the above url paths broken out so the
variables equal the following

$dir1 = mydirectory
$dir2 = mysubdirectory
$dir3 = anothersubdirectory
$page = mypage.php

....etc... if there were 5 more subdirectories... they would be
dynamically assigned to a variable.

Take out the parse_url line and use the code I gave you, or keep the
parse_url line and drop my explode line.

<?php

function my_parse_url( $url )
{
$parsed = parse_url( $url );
$parsed['file'] = basename( $parsed['path'] );
$parsed['pathbits'] = explode( '/', ltrim( dirname( $parsed['path']
), '/' ) );

return $parsed;
}

$url = my_parse_url( 'http://foo.fee.com/blah/bleh/bluh/meh.php' );
print_r( $url );

?>

Rob.
