@allworknoplay -- that class doesn't call from the db at all. If he has an example there, it's another option not a requirement.

The class actually reads the folder/file structure from the server itself.

Years ago when I first wrote my directory script, I used that class and it worked fine. I was new to php back then and have learned tons more since.

I no longer use any classes for navigation, I get all the data I need from one pass to the db and it's called from another external file based on location of the master page. It's all done using a templated system with mod_rewrite -- which I wrote myself.

Anyway, it was just an example to provide you with a little more information regarding the usage of breadcrumbs. One size does not fit all.
