Just thought I would share some code. I wanted a breadcrumb that mimic the url path. I tried the menu-parent-trail identifier and had no luck. With PHP and wildcard enabled I was able to complete what I wanted.

Specific Path
Community/*
Title

  $a = explode('/', drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']));
  
  //Uppercase the First Letter
  foreach($a as &$value) {
    $value = ucwords($value);
  }

  //pass by reference need to unset
  unset($value);

  //pop the title off
  array_pop($a);

  return $a;

Path

  $a = explode('/', drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']));

  //start with last item in the array and move to the first
  for( $i = count($a); $i > 0; $i-- ) {
    $b[$i-1] = implode('/', $a);
    array_pop($a);
  }
  return($b);

(If you are copying and pasting my code, then remove the comments)
I believe there are quite a few people that are trying to something similar to me. The issues queue around this issue are very hard to follow. If someone found a better way of doing this, then post your comments/code.

I implemented something similar, except if a path in the parent url has a menu item, i used the menu item title instead of the raw url string:
So, i'm using custom_breadcrumbs_paths, php + wildcard, and "Home" and "Content Title" settings from my zen-based theme.

Title

$a = explode('/', drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']));
$p = '';
foreach($a as &$v) {
  if (!empty($p)) { $p .= '/'; }
  $p .= $v;
  $i = menu_get_item($p);
  $v = empty($i) ? ucwords($v) : $i['title'];
}
array_pop($a);
return $a;

Path

$a = explode('/', drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']));
$p = '';
foreach($a as $v) {
  if (!empty($p)) { $p .= '/'; }
  $p .= $v;
  $b[] = $p;
}
array_pop($b);
return $b;

Thanks for sending me down the right path!

I'm not sure how to enable PHP for these fields. I got the following error:
Use of PHP in paths is not permitted and will be filtered out.

I have "PHP code" listed on /admin/settings/filters and am logged in as user 1.

Sorry, I thought you meant to enable PHP in the core. I just found the custom breadcrumbs settings page which allows you to enable it.

just using latest dev of custom breadcrumbs 6.x-2.x-dev
in the options for custom breadcrumbs enable option to " Use the menu structure to set the breadcrumb trail"

and all works great and without using menu breadcrumbs module or custom PHP
