PHP Breadcrumbs(link tree) help.

[nonexistentera]

Hello.

I have been searching around for something that could meet my needs, but as of which have not found anything.

I have all my url's layed out as so

 

index.php?action=requestedAction

 

Which apache rewrites to

/requestedAction

 

I am not sure how I could create a breadcrumb trail for this, or where to really begin.

 

Anyone knowledgeable on this :/

 

Thanks for anything in advance

The point of breadcrumbs is that you are navigating deeper within a page hierarchy.  You have a single controller page that rewrites it to a different url yes, but the setup is still that single controller page > action  so it's kind of pointless to have breadcrumbs... You can just have a static link back to the homepage, without the action being specified.

Well I mean like it will be ?action=browse let's say and there are categories, and sub categories, so ?action=browse&cat=3&subcat=2

 

So lets say 3 is Software, and the sub category is PHP. There would be

Home>Browse>Software>PHP

 

Then the user can go to the category software, or the browse section.

 

I think I just saw what I needed, so I will see what I can think up.

well if you have modrewrite transforming it into say

 

/browse/software/php

 

you could just grab the url and explode at the / and wrap link tags around each piece. implode it back together with >

For some reason that slipped my mind. It's brilliant.

After some time of working with mod_rewrite I finally have it running smoothly.

 

Now for the php side.

 

Thank you for giving me some extra common sense.

 

oh BTW, Nice sig
