Ok here is how I solved it. When I have a url like www.xx.ccom/a/b/c for
example, what I do is
get an array of abc, ab, a

Then I run a union query for all three combinations. So basically select *
from {lookup_table} WHERE path = 'abc' UNION select ........

Then I just retrieve the first row mysql_fetch_object. That is what I need.

Thanks Anyways
