PHP - Get string from URL

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.

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

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.
