Should breadcrumb navigation in PHP reflect the page structure or the user's browsing history?

Breadcrumb navigation in PHP should reflect the page structure rather than the user's browsing history. This helps users understand the hierarchy of the website and easily navigate back to previous pages. To implement this, you can manually define the breadcrumb trail for each page based on its parent-child relationships in the site structure. 

<?php
// Define an array to store the breadcrumb trail
$breadcrumbs = array();

// Add the home page as the first breadcrumb
$breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="/">Home</a>';

// Add the current page based on its parent-child relationships
if ($page == 'about') {
    $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="/about">About Us</a>';
} elseif ($page == 'services') {
    $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="/services">Services</a>';
} elseif ($page == 'contact') {
    $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="/contact">Contact Us</a>';
}

// Output the breadcrumb trail
echo implode(' > ', $breadcrumbs);
?>
