Hello,
This is a continuation from the following post:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?1213756-issue-creating-multiple-join-to-generate-categories-and-subcategories

Trying to generate a breadcrumb link from a array based on a user selection.
With the help from the above link i was able to pull the categories from the db and moved it into a session variable.
now that i have the array i like to be able to pull out a breadcrumb path for example
array:
index - parent - category
1 - 0 - technology
4 - 3 ------ computer
7 - 4 -------- monitor

if user clicks technology: technology
if user clicks computer: technology >> computer
if user clicks monitor: technology >> computer >> monitor.

sample out as of now:
[120] => Array
(
[rootIndex] => 3
[rootParent] => 0
[rootCategory] => technology
[category1Index] => 4
[category1Parent] => 4
[category1] => computers
[category2Index] => 14
[category2Parent] => 14
[category2] => keyboard
[category3Index] =>
[category3Parent] =>
[category3] =>
)

[121] =&gt; Array
    (
        [rootIndex] =&gt; 3
        [rootParent] =&gt; 0
        [rootCategory] =&gt; technology
        [category1Index] =&gt; 4
        [category1Parent] =&gt; 4
        [category1] =&gt; computers
        [category2Index] =&gt; 7
        [category2Parent] =&gt; 7
        [category2] =&gt; monitor
        [category3Index] =&gt;
        [category3Parent] =&gt;
        [category3] =&gt;
    )

Looks like you decided not to go with my array posted here. Any reason for that?

not at all Drumin and im great full for your help. due to my programming experience i probably didnt see the possibility from the script you provided.

the script you helped me with is in use to display the category and sub categories (creating a script similar to kijiji).
now that you brought it up to my attention ill go back and visit the script you provided and see how i can get the breadcrumb navigation

You never really gave an example URL. Are you using Directories after domain? Get Values?
