# PHP for Breadcrumb

 * I need help with some php coding.
 * **Current code:**
 *     ```
       if (is_category() || is_single() || is_archive()) {
       	echo '<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">';
       	the_category('title_li=');
       	echo "</div> ";
       ```
   
 * **Current output: **
 *     ```
       <div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
       	<a href="http://www.nhpborneo.com/catalogue/insects" title="View all posts in Insects" rel="category tag">Insects</a>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I need help so that it outputs this instead:
 *     ```
       <div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
       	  <a href="http://www.nhpborneo.com/catalogue/insects" itemprop="url" title="View all posts in Insects" rel="category tag">
       	  <span itemprop="title">Insects</span></a>
       </div>
       ```

 * You cannot control the inner content of the output when using `the_category()`.
   If you use `get_the_category()`, you code is returned an array of the post’s 
   category objects. Based on it’s content, you can construct and echo out any sort
   of HTML you desire.

 * Thank you bcworkz. I’ve managed to sort it out using `get_the_category(),`
