I am getting the following Notice until I login. Once I login, the notice goes away, even after I logout. I am new to php and am trying to troubleshoot this. If I find a solution, I will post it here. --Clarke Christiansen Notice: Undefined offset:  -1 in C:\Projects\csbswiki\wiki\extensions\BreadCrumbs\BreadCrumbsFunctions.php on line 30

The problem was 2 fold. --Clarke Christiansen Here is my updated code for BreadCrumbsFunctions.php that seems to fix the problems. I am new to php here, so be nice.  0. On the first page load this would be true.    The result is the Notice above where we are trying to loop through an array that is empty and worse yet we are starting at -1.
 * 2) If you have not done anything to trigger session_start, like logging in, BreadCrumbs will not accumulate. To fix this I am checking  for $_SESSION and starting the session if it is not there.

 * 1) Entry point for the hook for printing the CSS:
