Breadcrumb ...

[jimbobsquarepants]

I've only been playing with PHP for about 4 months so im slowly getting there.

On my test website i've made a breadcrumb trail ... for example it might look something like this

Home >> Customer Information >> Help >> FAQs.

Is it poss to do an if statement on the trail?

So if the breadcrumb trail says Help then do a song and dance  ;D

Cheers

Anything's possible  ;)

It sounds as though you could stick the if statement in there without much trouble.  Obviously it depends on how you're generating the breadcrumb in the first place, but yeah, should be easy enough.

Rich thanks for that ...

what kinda info do you need to know to help me with the code?

Ideally the code you're using to generate the breadcrumb.  Then we can point you in the right direction.
