HOME > Project

i wanted to display the pages like say

Index.php > Search.php? > Master.php etc... display the pages that they last went to.

Could you put each page into a sessionwhen they go to it and then read it out? Just make sure it is only like the last 3 or 5 or something so your sessions don't get too big or nothing.

Jeremysr · March 18, 2008

Maybe you could store each page in a session variable, an array of pages. So you'd put this on each page:

session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['page_history'])) { $_SESSION['page_history'] = array(); } // Make the array if it hasn't been made
array_push($_SESSION['page_history'], 'Index | http://site.com/index.php'); // Push the current page's title and URL to the array
if (count($_SESSION['page_history'] > 5)) { array_shift($_SESSION['page_history']); } // If the array is getting too long, shorten it

And to display the breadcrumbs:

function display_breadcrumbs() {
     foreach ($_SESSION['page_history'] as $page) {
          $page_parts = explode(' | ', $page);
          echo '<a href="'.$page_parts[1].'">'.$page_parts[0].'</a> > ';
     }     
}

breadcrumbs are just a hierarchical display of where you are in relation to the main page. for instance, the breadcrumbs at the top of this page have nothing to do with where you have actually been. it's showing you where you are in relation to other site elements.

jkewlo · March 18, 2008

hemm no error's on the code u gave but nothing displays

Jeremysr · March 18, 2008

Did you call the function to print the breadcrumbs?

display_breadcrumbs();

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

no

how do i call a function? sounds like a n00b thing to ask.

Jeremysr · March 19, 2008

You type the name of it, put the arguments inside parentheses, and put a semicolon. If there are no arguments you put a left and right parentheses without anything in them. Then the code inside the function will be executed. So wherever you put this:

display_breadcrumbs();

The list of links will be displayed.

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

Still dosnt show anything.

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

Still dosnt show anything.

wonder why that is?

iv tried

<td width="327" height="38" valign="top"><?
function display_breadcrumbs() {
     foreach ($_SESSION['page_history'] as $page) {
          $page_parts = explode(' | ', $page);
          echo '<a href="'.$page_parts[1].'">'.$page_parts[0].'</a> > ';
     }     
} ?>          <? display_breadcrumbs(); ?></td>

iv got the sessions part at top of page.

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

how hard could it be to get

links live above to display

PHP Freaks Forums > PHP and MySQL > PHP Help >

Jeremysr · March 19, 2008

The code you posted looks right. Just make sure you put something like this at the top of every page, changing the third line with the page title and page URL (seperated by the pipe symbol: " | ").

session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['page_history'])) { $_SESSION['page_history'] = array(); } // Make the array if it hasn't been made
array_push($_SESSION['page_history'], 'Index | http://site.com/index.php'); // Push the current page's title and URL to the array
if (count($_SESSION['page_history'] > 5)) { array_shift($_SESSION['page_history']); } // If the array is getting too long, shorten it

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

Ok. the site being run off localhost as of now so i will do that.

jkewlo · March 19, 2008

still not showing anything at all

weird

1 - 13 is the session and the function

1.<? session_start();
2.if (!isset($_SESSION['page_history'])) { $_SESSION['page_history'] = array(); } // Make the array if it hasn't been made
3.array_push($_SESSION['page_history'], 'Index | localhost/pro/project/index.php'); // Push the current page's title and URL to the array
4.if (count($_SESSION['page_history'] > 5)) { array_shift($_SESSION['page_history']); } // If the array is getting too long, shorten it
5.
6.function display_breadcrumbs() {
7.     foreach ($_SESSION['page_history'] as $page) {
8.          $page_parts = explode(' | ', $page);
9.          echo '<a href="'.$page_parts[1].'">'.$page_parts[0].'</a> > ';
10.     }     
11.}
12.
13.?>

Oh sorry, I nested the parentheses wrong. It should be changed to:

session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['page_history'])) { $_SESSION['page_history'] = array(); } // Make the array if it hasn't been made
array_push($_SESSION['page_history'], 'Index | localhost/pro/project/index.php'); // Push the current page's title and URL to the array
if (count($_SESSION['page_history']) > 5) { array_shift($_SESSION['page_history']); } // If the array is getting too long, shorten it

function display_breadcrumbs() {
    foreach ($_SESSION['page_history'] as $page) {
         $page_parts = explode(' | ', $page);
         echo ' > <a href="'.$page_parts[1].'">'.$page_parts[0].'</a>';
     }     
}

Now I've tested it, so I know it will work.

kk thanks alot

it does what i want it to but say all 5 of the links are refering to w/e page i am visiting

master.php?id=General_art

and repeating

Index > Index > Index > etc...

array_push($_SESSION['page_history'], 'Index | '); // Push the current page's title and URL to the array

i see if u delete the Index | it will echo the links as > > > > So a way to get it to record the page titles and the previous(s) links would work

Did you change the third line in the code I posted for each page? Put the page title, then a space and a pipe symbol (|) and another space, then the URL of the page.
