$page→parents()

Return this page’s parent pages, or the parent pages matching the given selector.

This method returns all parents of this page, in order. If a selector is specified, they will be filtered by the selector. By default, parents are returned in breadcrumb order.

foreach($page->parents() as $parent) {
  echo "<li><a href='$parent->url'>$parent->title</a></li>";
}

// Return all parents, excluding the homepage
$parents = $page->parents("template!=home");

// Return parents in reverse order (closest to furthest, 3.0.158+
$parents = $page->parents(true);
