Display path of current page relative to index?

SanSui

I'd like to have a small header on a site that displays the current path of a page, kinda like how on these forums right now I can see:

PHP Builder Community Forums > PHP Help > Newbies

How do you do this with PHP? I assume there's a really easy way....

<?php
$document_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$fs_path = getcwd();
list($relative_path) = split($document_root,$new_path);
if(empty($relative_path)) $relative_path = "/";
echo $document_root . "<br />" . $fs_path . "<br />" . $relative_path;
?>

I get a regex error with that code.

I guess the idea is to get the full pathname, then split that string apart to display it.

The list function is still a bit confusing to me as I am a complete newb to PHP, how would that look in a regular loop? And when I was playing with the get_cwd function it did not appear to be returning a pathname, just displaying a blank

ok, nevermind, get_cwd is working correctly, I'm just retarded 😉

I've found an example of what I'm trying to do:

Red Envelope

see the little links that say "home occassion summer sale"?

I'd like to create a small script that will generate that information automatically on each page. Would I be better off trying that with javascript?

Well, I think I've almost figured this out on my own 🙂 I've figured out how to split the directory names up and then create a series of links after looping through the newly made array of names

will post my finished solution tomorrow for critiques
