[SOLVED] PHP navbar

szboardstretcher · 09-16-2013, 09:12 AM

Hi all,

I've got a mini-site made of three files:

header.php
index.php
footer.php

Index.php and other files include the header and footer when launched. My question is:

How do you handle the class="active" tag on the current navbar item? So if I'm on index.php, the index.php navbar button is active,.. if i go to sysinfo.php, the sysinfo.php button is active and so on.

Im not seeing a clear way to do this, because the header.php is unaware of what the actual page is.

Anyone have a good explanation for how to do this?

Just use of the variables to see which page got called in first place http://www.php.net/manual/de/reserve...les.server.php

Thank you friend.

Code:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>

with a little tweaking i can get that to work.

Nother nice variable compound for php http://www.php.net/manual/de/languag...predefined.php.
You have to be on the lookout which one to use where. There are some pitfalls depending on how everyting is called. Be sure to check on a few more to see which variable prints out what when called in several ways.
