print_r($_GET) and see what you get

 

i got the actual URL  ( [id_country_from] => 182 [id_country_to] => 182 )

 

i need to get the rewrited URL strings

i'll assume 181 = USA and 182 = china so some how you have to retrieve that array and then just say

$country_to = $array[$_GET[id_country_to]];

$country_from = $array[$_GET[id_country_from]];

 

That array exist somewhere on your server

<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //will set $url to "/Rates/USA/1/China/2"
$bits = explode('/', $url);
// $bits[1] contains "Rates"
// $bits[2] contains "USA"
// $bits[3] contains "1"
// $bits[4] contains "China"
// $bits[5] contains "2"
?>
