Answer 1

You can use the following code:

$ex = explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
foreach($ex as $val){
    echo '<a>'.str_replace('-',' ',$val).'</a>';
}

Answer 2

Try this :

$url =  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$tags = explode('/', $url);
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    echo "<a href='#'>" . str_replace('-',' ',$tag) . "</a> ";
}
