Hi again everybody,
well, I've asked it before, but I couldn't work on this at all.
As some knows I have a system witch has a category system. The generic
part of the site is handled by a generic module called contents...
generic like products, services, company, etc. Where the content 
layout
and structure is quite the same.

Well suppose that I have this:
http://www.the_company.com/site/products/product_one/requirements/
requirements.html
Where:
site/    the controller
products/  - alias module for content module
product_one/   - top category
requirements/- nested category
 -- as many nested categories as needed
requirements.html - article is called searching using it without
the .html, witch is used to know that it is an article and not a
category. ('WHERE article_path='requirements' AND category_id='022')
My problem is that how can I handle those categories! and
build a three of it.
Is it a true hierarchy, or is it a heterarchy?
In other words, can sub_category_57 appear in *TWO* different 
branches
in the tree?

If *NOT*, then you really don't need all the nested categories in your
URL:  As soon as you have the bottom category, you've already got all
the others in your database.
Of course, you could simply walk through $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and 
build
your category list:

?php
  $parts = explode('/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
  $controller = $parts[0];
  $module = $parts[1];
  unset($parts[0]);
  unset($parts[1]);
  $categories = array();
  while (list(, $cat) = each($parts)){
if (!strstr($cat, '.html')){
  $categories[] = $cat;
}
  }
