by having an URL like this: mysite.com/subfolder/helloworld - Is it possible to read the "helloworld" from within a PHP page?
I would like to use the string as a part to load some content.

you could make use of a .htaccess file to use url rewriting (mod_rewrite) and pass the query string (i.e. /subfolder/helloworld) as a parameter to a php file of your choosing.Oerd– Oerd2011-04-29 17:56:04 +00:00Commented Apr 29, 2011 at 17:56

end( explode( '/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) )
without the end() call it will give you all the parts of the URL

You should read about URL rewriting.
This is more clean than "reading" the current URL. Basically you can redirect your URL (transparently) to something like :
mysite.com/index.php?folder=subfolder&category=helloworld
Then in PHP, you can access the URL parameter with :
$folder = $_GET['subfolder']
$category = $_GET['category']
This is maybe not the kind of answer you were expecting, but it can be interesting to know.

The request url (everything from the first / after the domain name) can be found in $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]

@Oerd That sounds interesting. I'ld like to try that. How does the .htaccess file would look like to do that?
Hello have u used 'strstr' keyword of php? please try like this
if(strstr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "helloworld"))
return true;
else
return false;
May be this will be helpful to you.
