Kind of background process like a cronjob possibly that reads the folder content and writes it into the database. Otherwise it's a bit unclear what you are asking exactly and coding help is of topic on Programmers.SE – thorsten müller Jul 12 '16 at 17:22
    
Do you mean POST data to the server without using an html <form>? AJAX is probably what you're looking for. – neilsimp1 Jul 12 '16 at 17:34

Of course you can.

Try:

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //returns the current URL
$parts = explode('/',$url);
print_r($parts);
EDIT:

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //returns the current URL
$parts = explode('/',$url);
$dir = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
for ($i = 0; $i < count($parts) - 1; $i++) {
 $dir .= $parts[$i] . "/";
}
echo $dir;

This should return localhost/do/and save url via sql connection.

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
// Perform queries 
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO urls (`url`) 
VALUES ('".$dir."')");
mysqli_close($con);
