point me to functions to parse the URL? (best one for *this* job?)

Hi all,

(PHP newbie here.  Newbie-level task to match.)

I am RTFM and working on this.. but I am also under deadline, so, I ask you in case you can point me quick where to read... what functions I need to use for this.

Incoming URL will look like these, for example:

domain.com/unix/asdfsdf.html
domain.com/macos/khsdfg.html

I need to parse those URLs and set the value of $myfolder to as follows:

domain.com/unix/asdfsdf.html
$myfolder=unix
domain.com/macos/khsdfg.html
$myfolder=macos

BUT if there is no dir/ in between the domain and file,
like so:
domain.com/khsdfg.html
 then I want:
$myfolder=default

I am playing with $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], ..
what function will parse that best?
I need to also account for when the URL does not have an in-between dir/, nor a filename in it, e.g.:
domain.com/
(then again $myfolder=default)

TIA!
-Govinda
