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;
    }
  }
?>
