No way, you want to parse the url?
How about, parse_url()?
Or something like:
/* UNTESTED */
$myfolder = 'default';
if (preg_match ('@^[^/]+/([^/]+)/@', $url, $m) {
$myfolder = $m[1];
}
or:
/* UNTESTED */
$myfolder = 'default';
$parts = explode ('/', $url);
if (count ($parts) 2) {
$myfolder = $parts[1];
}
Oh, and in the future, if you want to strip the slashes from a var,
you would use the remove_escape_char() function :-)
Is there a manual page for that?

Sorry, after actually reading your post, and having nothing else to do
at the moment (one solution):
$myfolder = basename(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
if(empty($myfolder)) {
$myfolder = 'default';
}
