Drupal Breadcrumb

I was going through the various breadcrumb modules as well as the core drupal function drupal_set_breadcrumb but couldn't find the right solution for me.

I have created my own function so maybe it can help someone else also in drupal 6. This function will not use the drupal breadcrumb functionality instead it will work according to the path of the page i.e. url.

Write the following function in template.php

function get_breadcrumb(){
  global $base_url;
  $breadcrumb = array();
  $path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $firstpath = explode('?',$path);
  $paths = explode('/',$firstpath[0]);
  $actualpath = '';
  $last = end($paths);
  foreach($paths as $test){
    $actualpath .= $test. '/';
    if($test == $last) {
      $breadcrumb[] = t(ucwords(str_replace("-"," ",$test)));
    }
    else {
      $breadcrumb[] = l(ucwords(str_replace("-"," ",$test)), rtrim($base_url.$actualpath, "/"));
    }
  }
  $breadcrumb[0] = l('Home','<front>');


  return $breadcrumb;
}

Call the above function in page.tpl.php as following

              $path = get_breadcrumb();
              foreach($path as $crumb){
                $bread .= $crumb . " > ";
              }
              $breadc = substr($bread,0,-3);
print $breadc;
