Creating a breadcrumb?

[k0r54]

Hi,

I am attempting to creating a breadcrumb trail function. I find the ones on the net a bit too advance since they are mostly classes and i am not at that level yet.

I have a fairly firm understanding off php, and have a parent_id field in the database and a parent_id in the url to tell me what categories are loaded. I somehow need to work backwards finding the id where the parend_id = the url parent_id until i get to the parent_id being 0.

(hope you understand that)

Anyway do you have any ideas?

Thanks

On the search that it returned to me, the 3rd linkn was a good one and very easy to use. Even for a newbe or some one with a fairly firm understanding off php.

I always do, just i found when i went to google there was nothing of any use. I downloaded a few scripts but they were all a bit to complex or used classes which i dont have a clue about.

I will search a bit more on google, but if you find anything, or can help please let me know.

I am looking at the code on the 3rd link on the return: -
Google search (http://www.oscdox.com/crossx/nav.html?includes/classes/breadcrumb.php.html)

The things is, i really dont understand classes, despite my efforts :(

How do i link to it, how does it know my last links? does it remember them?

Any tips on this code would be really helpfull.

Thanks sheldon

ahhh months of work has been explained in one VERY good OOP tutorial

It still doesn't clear up everything in relation to the trail, as i dont have any idea how to call that paticular class, so any help will still be very much appreciated. However im understanding has suddenly clicked.

I think classes can REALLY help my programming, is there anything i should look out for?

Thanks
