Breadcrumb navigation

[merrickdav]

I have find a php class for breadcrumb navigation but I'm unsure how to use it. Any ideas?

<?php
/*
* Breadcrumb navigation class
* Mick Sear
* http://www.ecreate.co.uk
*
* The key to using this is to decide on a $level for each page.  (array, starting position 0)
* This determines where in the trail a link will be placed.  So, I normally make the homepage level 0,
* then every page that can be accessed from the top level nav becomes level 1, and every page
* from that second level becomes level 2, and so on.  When users return to a higher level (e.g. level 1)
* the surplus links are removed.  Only one page can occupy a $level in the crumb trail.
* There might be several routes to a page.  In which case, the trail will reflect the route that the
* user actually took to get to that page.
*/

class Breadcrumb{

   var $output;
   var $crumbs = array();
   var $location;


   /*
    * Constructor
    */
   function Breadcrumb(){  
   
      if ($_SESSION['breadcrumb'] != null){
         $this->crumbs = $_SESSION['breadcrumb'];
      }  
   
   }

   /*
    * Add a crumb to the trail:
    * @param $label - The string to display
    * @param $url - The url underlying the label
    * @param $level - The level of this link.  
    *
    */
   function add($label, $url, $level){

      $crumb = array();
      $crumb['label'] = $label;
      $crumb['url'] = $url;

      if ($crumb['label'] != null && $crumb['url'] != null && isset($level)){       
            
         while(count($this->crumbs) > $level){

            array_pop($this->crumbs); //prune until we reach the $level we've allocated to this page

         }

         if (!isset($this->crumbs[0]) && $level > 0){ //If there's no session data yet, assume a homepage link

            $this->crumbs[0]['url'] = "/index.php";
            $this->crumbs[0]['label'] = "Home";

         }

         $this->crumbs[$level] = $crumb;  
               
      }

        $_SESSION['breadcrumb'] = $this->crumbs; //Persist the data
        $this->crumbs[$level]['url'] = null; //Ditch the underlying url for the current page.
   }

   /*
    * Output a semantic list of links.  See above for sample CSS.  Modify this to suit your design.
    */
   function output(){

      echo "<div id='breadcrumb'><ul><li>Click trail: </li>";

      foreach ($this->crumbs as $crumb){  

         if ($crumb['url'] != null){

            echo "<li> > <a href='".$crumb['url']."' title='".$crumb['label']."'>".$crumb['label']."</a></li> ";

         } else {

            echo "<li> > ".$crumb['label']."</li> ";

         }
      }

      echo "</ul></div>";
   }
}
?>
