Breadcrumbs

[st0rmer]

I have a site, and i want to be able to show the location using PHP

 

For example, if i am at mysite.com/section1/contact.html

 

It might show something like

 

Home >> Section 1 >> Contact

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks

$url = 'mysite.com/section1/contact.html';

list($site,$dir1,$file) = explode('/',$url);

echo "Home >> $dir1 >> $file";

The way microsoft implements this for the .NET framework is via an XML file. You specify the relationships amongst tables in an XML file and then hook it up to a breadcrumb control.

 

Okay, now that I've said that... there's not a feature like this in PHP, but I think this approach or a similar one might make for an easy and consistent implementation.

 

The above approach isn't necessarily a bad one but it relies heavily on a naming convention and assumes that you structure your files in a directory structure which is not always the case... you may store them in a database for example.

What if i needed more than one word for the name of the section. If i used a '-' is the directory, could i make the dash mean a space?
