kurt.santo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Working on my mate's website and would like to include breadcrumb for section with his products (mainly is the product template and some entry pages). Only those files are PHP. The rest of the site is simple HTML and as it does not change often I will just hard-code the breadcrumb for those pages.Having major problems with some JavaScript breadcrumb scripts (due to not knowing too much about it) I wondered if I am going wrong anyway and should use PHP instead. I heard before that I should use JavaScript, but searching on the web for JavaScript breadcrumb scripts I always come across some PHP scripts, which does not help my caos... What would you guys recommend?Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 If the products are all in categories and you want to show a path to the current product through the categories, I would just figure out which category the current product is in from the database, and keep working backward through the categories until you get to the products page or home page or wherever you want to start from.

There is one level with "view by room" or "view by range", which is optional as the user has the option to click immediately on a range or room (but he has to click a range or room first to open the options in there)...Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 You can use the session to keep track of which pages they have viewed so far if you want, and then display those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you recommend a site where they would have script samples?Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm not sure, I just typically use the PHP manual at php.net. It's a little technical and some people find it hard to read, but it gives you all the information you need and nothing you don't.http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.phpScroll down the page and check the examples, all you need to do to use the session is use the session_start function on each page and then you can use the $_SESSION array to access all the session variables.
