I would like to help you, but I always use a javascript routine that returns all elements of an url/uri in an array. If you want that I'll show it. If you insist on PHP code, I'll pass.

PHP Only, sorry.

Cheers for the offer though.

That ereg_match will result in

/word-word-word/word-word-word.html

Now when you can live with that, you can find what you want using PHP, as sample:
[php]
$text='http://www.website.co. uk/word-word-word/word-word-word.html';
preg_match_all( "/^(https?:\/\/)?([^\/]*)(.*)/i", "$text", $matches);
echo dirname($matche s[3][0]);[/php]
That will give you

/word-word-word
