Closer! Except the “Path” and “To” are still missing. Also, is there a way to capitalize the first letter of the filename (So the “A” in “about”?)
What it is now
What I would like:
Also, I get a syntax error if I try to add a class name.
ex. echo("<ul id="breadcrumbs">");
How about this? Again, copy exactly as is, forget previous code…
Edited with some improvements.
<?php
$parts = explode("/", dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
$filename = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$url = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
echo("<ul>");
echo("<li><a href=\"".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."\">Home</a> ▸</li>");
for($i = 1; $i < count($parts); $i++){
$url = $url . $parts[$i] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
echo("<li><a href=\"" . $url . "\">" . ucfirst(basename($url)) . "</a> ▸</li>");
}
echo("<li><a href=\"" . $url . $filename ."\">" . ucfirst($filename) . "</a> ▸</li>");
echo("</ul>");
?>
Amazing, but is there any way I can add a class (For styling) to the “ul” and “li” elements? If I add it like normal echo("<ul class="classname>"); I get Parse error : syntax error in the browser.
Thanks!
Additionally, it shows an extra icon on any pages in the root folder (Like /contact)
Sorry, I found another thing. I wanted a line like this (That allows me to change the name) to be included.
case "about": $label = "About Us"; break;
Thanks for working on this though!
Ok. Now the code is in a function named
show_breadcrumbs_ul($path)
You have to call it to execute it. In order to get the same result like before, you call it like this
show_breadcrumbs_ul($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
Otherwise you can call it with any path you want, for testing purposes as well. For example
show_breadcrumbs_ul("/test");
The bug that you mentioned, with the extra breadcrumb, is now fixed.
The unordered list now has a class named list_class and the items have a class named listitem_class. I also added a class anchor_class for the anchors.
I don’t understand what you mean with the last request. This was just a gimmick of the previous coder that when it found a directory named ‘about’ in the path, it showed it as ‘About Us’ in the breadcrumbs. You couldn’t have used that in any way I think…
The code:
<?php
show_breadcrumbs_ul($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
function show_breadcrumbs_ul($path){
$parts = explode("/", dirname($path));
$filename = basename($path);
$url = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
echo("<ul class=\"list_class\">");
echo("<li class=\"listitem_class\"><a class=\"anchor_class\" href=\"".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."\">Home</a> ▸</li>");
for($i = 1; $i < count($parts); $i++){
$url = $url . $parts[$i] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if($url != DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR){
echo("<li class=\"listitem_class\"><a class=\"anchor_class\" href=\"" . $url . "\">" . ucfirst(basename($url)) . "</a> ▸</li>");
}
}
$lastlink = $url . $filename;
if($lastlink != DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR){
echo("<li class=\"listitem_class\"><a class=\"anchor_class\" href=\"" . $lastlink ."\">" . ucfirst($filename) . "</a> ▸</li>");
}
echo("</ul>");
}
?>
It’s still not working.
Additionally, the links are also broken (They were before to, I just didn’t notice it).
<ul class="list_class"><li class="listitem_class"><a class="anchor_class" href="/">Home</a> ▸</li><li class="listitem_class"><a class="anchor_class" href="//"></a> ▸</li><li class="listitem_class"><a class="anchor_class" href="//contact">Contact</a> ▸</li></ul></div><div class="contact-text center">
I used that to replace “Contact” with “Contact Us”, as well as a few other cases. I do want this feature, otherwise this one is no better than the working one that I found earlier.
Here it is. This one works well, except it does not have that search and replace function. If it could be added that would be great.
<?php
// This function will take $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and build a breadcrumb based on the user's current path
function breadcrumbs($separator = ' » ', $home = 'Home') {
// This gets the REQUEST_URI (/path/to/file.php), splits the string (using '/') into an array, and then filters out any empty values
$path = array_filter(explode('/', parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH)));
// This will build our "base URL" ... Also accounts for HTTPS :)
$base = ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/';
// Initialize a temporary array with our breadcrumbs. (starting with our home page, which I'm assuming will be the base URL)
$breadcrumbs = Array("<a href=\"$base\">$home</a>");
// Find out the index for the last value in our path array
$last = end(array_keys($path));
// Build the rest of the breadcrumbs
foreach ($path AS $x => $crumb) {
// Our "title" is the text that will be displayed (strip out .php and turn '_' into a space)
$title = ucwords(str_replace(Array('.php', '_'), Array('', ' '), $crumb));
// If we are not on the last index, then display an <a> tag
if ($x != $last)
$breadcrumbs[] = "<a href=\"$base$crumb\">$title</a>";
// Otherwise, just display the title (minus)
else
$breadcrumbs[] = $title;
}
// Build our temporary array (pieces of bread) into one big string :)
return implode($separator, $breadcrumbs);
}
?>
<p><?= breadcrumbs() ?></p>
