How to link my links on my breadcrumbs?

Question

I'd like to know how I can link all my links on my two breadcrumbs (top and bottom) so that I can know where I am on my site? I would like for example when I go to my page rules.php, "Rules" is displayed on my breadcrumbs: http://prntscr.com/48anw3

Here is my structure:

index.php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-us">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "index") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Forums</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "members") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Members</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "sign_up") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Sign Up</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "sign_in") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Sign In</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "change_theme") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Change Theme</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "contact_us") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Contact Us</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "help") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Help</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <?php
        if(strpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], "rules") !== false) { ?>
        <title>Test - Rules</title>
        <?php } ?>
        <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
        <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php include("top_bar.php");?>
        <?php include("header.php");?>
        <?php include("container.php");?>
        <?php include("footer.php");?>
    </body>
</html>

top_bar.php file:

<!-- TOP BAR -->
<div id="top_bar">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div id="top_bar_links">
            <ul>
            <?php
            $full_name = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
            $name_array = explode("/",$full_name);
            $count = count($name_array);
            $page_name = $name_array[$count-1];
            ?>
            <li>

            </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

header.php file:

                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Thanks to the people who will take the penalty to read the question and help me.

You would like something like home > rules ? is there any limits? for example can I have home > rules > forums > rules ?? — Saikios, Jul 31 '14 at 22:56
I do not want "Home". I just want that when for example I click on "Members" in the navigation, "Members" is also displayed in the breadcrumbs. — Wo7dy, Jul 31 '14 at 23:11
I do get that, but my question is if you have levels or something of the kind so you don't repeat on the breadcrumb eternally — Saikios, Jul 31 '14 at 23:12

Here you have some simple solutions for Breadcrumbs,

This option if you are using htacces is a great chooice

$crumbs = explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
foreach($crumbs as $crumb){
    echo ucfirst(str_replace(array(".php","_"),array(""," "),$crumb) . ' ');
}

Taken from: PHP Simple dynamic breadcrumb

If you need something more specific would gladly help out :)

Some other chooices: http://www.phpro.org/classes/Breadcrumbs.html

http://pixelcode.co.uk/tutorials/php/breadcrumbscript-using-php/

------UPATE------- This should do the trick

<?php
if($location = substr(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 1))
    $dirlist = explode('/', $location);
else
    $dirlist = array();

$count = array_push($dirlist, basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

$address = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

echo '<a href="'.$address.'">Home</a>';

for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
    echo '&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="'.($address .= '/'.$dirlist[$i]).'">'.ucfirst(str_replace(".php","",$dirlist[$i])).'</a>';
?>
