parse url is commonly used

<?php
$url = 'http://localhost/app/path/';

print_r(parse_url($url));

echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
?>

if you wan't to extract path parameter from the output you can do as follow:

    <?php
    $url = 'http://localhost/app/path/';

    $extract = parse_url($url);

    echo $extract['path'];
   ?>

	Just to note, `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` (as stated in your question) is different from the path part of the URL. The `REQUEST_URI` includes the querystring as well, whereas path obviously does not. – w3d Sep 18 '12 at 10:56
