:) Rick's example, but how in your example do we look for a double
forward slash?

You don't look for one, that's the point. The explode() breaks the
string into an array at every occurrence of a '/' character. This
will leave zero length strings in the array if there is a double //
(which wasn't in any given example in this thread that I saw) When
you use the array, just don't do anything with empty elements!
Thanks,
