Displaying location tree.

Hi, since I have no idea where to start and what to use, I have come here for some ideas.

What have developers used to achieve location menus such as:
You are browsing: Fun stuff > Colors > Yellow > Light tones...
Do they use php sessions, mysql queries?

Any help, ideas, links, much appreciated.

Most often, databases.

Whatever the user is viewing belongs in some sort of category. That category is a child category of something else, which is a child category of something else... all the way up to the root (in your example, "Fun stuff").
A database table holds all that information.
