Using the file path... maybe?

at the top of this page is something like:

Board Index >> Programming >> PHP and MySQL Forum

First, is there a name for that? I want to include it in my site but I can't find any tutorials for it or any info online because I don't know what to call it.

I'd assume it's through php but I could be wrong.

If anyone could point me to a tutorial or could help me making it that be great!

Thanks

In forums, every topic got it's own database post, and it has category_id, forum_id, subforum_id and so on, then the links and names get fetched from there.

If you use some other system, like using urls, you can just make it so:
www.yourdomain.com?cat=Animals&sub=Dogs

Will print out:

Code: Select all

<?php echo "<a href='/'>Index</a> - <a href='/' . $_G.ET[cat] . '/'>' . $_G.ET[cat] . '</a> - <a href='/'. $_G.ET[cat] . '/' . $_G.ET[sub] . '/'>' . $_G.ET[sub] . '</a>"; ?>

Get it?


I have no idea if this is called anything, should have some smart name, but I've never catched it

EDIT: I'm using G.ET instead of GET, because GET isn't working on the new forums, I'm working on that

Ok I think I have the general idea. I'll take a stab at it later and see how much I screw it up lol
